Bill,
Good lookin' fly. Especially like the body. Everything combines into a real fish getter.

I could pound some trout on the Roaring Fork this next Spring with that pattern! Way cool pattern!

Bill,
This is up to your reliably high standards.
The squirrel dubbing does look like little bug legs.
Very natural coloration, nicely picked out of your kaleidoscopic assortment of materials.
Using those pheasant barbs for such a long tail would not have occurred to me, but I like it a lot.

Love this flie and it's proportions, looks like a real fish catcher and it simplicity and elegance makes it a beauty

Again a beauty my friend

Excellent fly, pattern and photo. Excuse me, I'm off to the fly shop for some Pine Squirrel, I got everything else.

Very nice!
Like the slender "buggy" looking body with the extra length in the tail, that should impart some neat action in the water. Very natural colours.
This should fish well for you.

Wicked tie right there......i cant envision that fly not working on any trout water on any given day!

tye2fish, Howdy;

Interesting proportions .... any particular reason
or just 'felt right' as it went along ???
Either way it's a handsome critter...
