Gig, top looking fly!
Has all the features one would want in a fly you could have faith in, no wonder it is a favourite.
All the very best to you and yours as well from a warm little corner of the South Pacific.

Oh, Gig what a beauty. If I were a trout and hungry, which I always am, I would eat that in a minute. Most anything with red and orange gets my fancy.

gig, Howdy;
Excellent looking fly! Perfect proportions in my view, colors work
very well together ... top marks all the way 'round ...
Best to you and yours and may you also have a bountiful year.

A lovely morsel, gig. Thank you for sharing this holiday season.

Gig,
That one will do the business, my friend. I'll be adding that pattern to my list of must carry flies. Merry Christmas and a Healthy, Happy and Prosperous New Year to you and yours as well.
