Fantastic fly Hans! Love the contrasts of the Philoplume and that brown partridge. That thing is going to have some good movement too. Should be a killer.

HANS,
THESE ARE THE COMBINATIONS THAT MAKE FOR A KILLING FLY IN MY AREA. THE OTHER FELLOWS ARE RIGHT! IT'S THE MOVEMENT OF THE MATERIALS, THE PHILOPLUME AND OF COURSE THE PARTRIDGE, THAT SUGGEST LIFE. THANKS HANS! A GREAT PATTERN FROM THE HANDS OF A TRUE MASTER. KEEP THEM COMING.
