Very cool!

It reminds me of a tan flymph pattern tyed by our friend Doug. I imagine this would be an effective stillwater fly. Lovely.

Sir, do you tie any bad flies!?
Excellence to a T.

Ray,

Thanks. I have been admiring some of the bumbler patterns lately and thought I'd try to tie this up similarly. I used a much lighter hackle for the body but it didn't contrast as well as I'd hoped with the collar hackle.

Smuggler,

If I took videos of my tying there would be a ton of blooper reels!
