Nice fly Hans, I understand now what graduated means. Dis not read it the first time.
If the filoplume is wet you can see something of it or is it one grey clumb of feather??

Very mobile, on par with marabou or CDC.

Hans, again with the graduated rib.
Is this your own technique or did you pick up on it somewhere?

Liam,
Pretty sure others have done the same, but not that I am aware of such.
For me, is new, but does not really matter. I like, that is enough
