Nondescript often equates versatile and effective. This has to be a good thing, no?

Indeed.
You could put that one in the dictionary as an illustration next the the entry for "flymph".

I gotta ask... Why did you name it "Dame Juliana"? I am surprised you would give something with a bad-hair-day, a woman's name. (humor/ducking and running for cover/laughing as I go)
Fantastic fly, by the way...

Buggy looking with a little hackle, that will definitely catch fish around here too. Good all around fly.

This one resonates with me. Nice one. I like the effect of the wire brush.

Nice looking pattern. I suspect that would do very well here for a scud or aquatic sow bug pattern.

A great looking pattern and one I'd love to have in my fly box
