Wow! Very impressive fly, Rodger. I love the "wet" shot. The fly looks even buggier (compliment). I am sure your trout will give this pattern an approving bite.

Seeing this makes me wish I had more time to watch you tye at the museum...

Rodger, I always like your color and texture combinations. This is especially cool with the softer hackle in front of the hen. Makes for a nice contrast too.

That's a good one there.. very clever. Nice color combinations and choice of materials.
That palmered hackle is great, Rodger.
