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...

I am going to the flyshop today and I hope they have Starling.
Great technique!

Again, thanks for the support folks. I'm really anxious to try out this pattern myself. And Ray, I am pretty much certain this is the first time anyone has been sufficiently moved by something I have done to write a poetic critique, by which I am flattered.

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.
