Taking the hare and grouse to a new level. Nice color blends. I like the darker thorax reminiscent of the budding wing case. Should be a producer.

Gorgeous (confidence) pattern, Rodger. We're going to have to change your screen name to TroutsBain, or TroutSlayer. (humor)

Great combination of materials used to make a very attractive fly. I like it a lot!

Rodger,
You wrote that the body was done on a spinning block, but what about the thorax? How'd you do that part?

Hi Lance,
The thorax is just a small dubbing noodle. I've been playing around with having both the abdomen and thorax dubbing in a single spinning loop on the block, but I can see that's going to take a bit of practice to get the amounts looking right.
