Sweet and fresh. Excuse my ignorance...... but is the Starling hackle thorax wrapped? If so did you tie by the tip and wrap forward, or tie by the stem at the eye and wrap back bringing the thread through?
Either way it is a neat looking fly and that hackle could sub Dotteral perhaps?

Thanks Jeff,
I tied the hackle in by the stem over the eye along with the peacock, twisted it all with the thread and wrapped back and tied it down.

Nice fly--you and Ray are really working the ginger/bleached starling these days.
