Sweet fly. The hook gives it a nice racy look.

Very nice and in a practical size.
Is that a 200R style hook equivalent?

Cool fly!
I agree about the hook - looks like it's speeding just sitting there. :D

It is similar. Straight eye, 3XL with a bit more dropped hook bend than the 200R. It has more gape as a result. As Ray said, it's a bit racy too!

I thought I'd drop a line to let you know I am still alive and kicking.
I like the fly very much, I'm glad standards are being maintained.

Donald! How very good to hear from you. We have all been quite concerned about your welfare, and it is a relief to know that you are OK.

DONALD, HOWDY!!!

As stated by Bill, we have been concerned, good to see that you are still looking down at the flowers
instead of up at the root systems ...
