Interesting combination. What was the thinking behind the yellow rear and the dun hackle with that wild body?

William,
Good to see you posting again. I was getting concerned.
What was the thinking behind the yellow rear and the dun hackle with that wild body?
Nothing overly 'deep'. Call it some mild inspiration from Bumbles and Irish lough patterns, and making it mine
Cheers,
Hans W
