Nicely done Hans. The rib spacing is impeccable as usual.

Hans; What do you find particularly attracted to the fly? Are you trying to duplicate anything specific?
Thanks,
Ralph

Ralph,
No specific bug - just impressionistic representation of the many brownish insects which hatch in streams around the world. Brown colored emergers, brown colored duns, brown colored spinners, brown caddis flies, brown colored stoneflies, brown colored terrestrials.
Just something which suggests a worthwhile snack to the fish
Cheers,
Hans W
