If I were to enter a Whitefish contest, I would be sure to have a few of these in my fly box, and one on my line. I am sure I could fool a Rainbow trout or three with it as well.

That is a fish getter for sure. I can't seem to stop looking at it. Lovely work, but it looks like the fish here would eat that up about now. I like everything about this one for sure.

Hans, Howdy;
Beauty!!!
I was, however, expecting something large, dark and foreboding
with a dark hood.

I'm sure it would. Some day I will find a full hen mallard skin...
