WOW!
That is something I could see Rainbow Trout really finding hard to pass by.

I opened up the photo and a gasp left my body. It is majestic. I swear some flies are just like art work. A simple line on canvas, a sentence on a page. This belongs in that category.

A truly majestic fly with bold coloring. Magnificent. Plenty of flow, and life in this fly. Bravo.

Hans,
Sweet looking fly! Dummy me wants to ask, "Is this a spey pattern?" It seems to have all the classic lines of a spey!
Great job friend!

It does have similar flowing lines, does it not?
I would not call it a spey pattern. It lacks the wing, and also differs in other aspects. I will stick to it being an "in your face" wingless wet

Hans,
I don't think anybody has more fun at the vise than you.
You got me curious about what the adult stage of this sleek beauty looks like.
I'd like to be there when they hatch.
