A very nice "fine" dressing. Has everything required to be a damn fine fishing fly.

That would be a Go-To fly in anyone's fly box. Very nice!

Attractively buggy morsel,
extremely fishy fly,
many trout it catches,
as soon as it gets spied!
How's that for a compliment?
Another masterpiece, Bill...

Damn! You put sulky silky metallic thread on the block? That's fantastic. What a killer pattern. You always seem to find a way to amaze.
