Hans,
Bedraggled yes! But, this is the very type of fly that takes lots of fish each year...for me. To some (mostly outside of this forum), it may look ugly and would never catch fish. To those who do know and seek out this very pattern, we say a big, hardy THANK YOU!
As always your work is exceptional and much appreciated.

*chuckle*
Doug,
I like to think this may be one of the most realistic flies I have tied. Realistic in the eyes of the fish, that is.
Cheers,
Hans W

Hi Hans,
That would catch on my little river for sure!
Put money on that one...

Hans, this is definitely one of my favorites. That body is controlled chaos at its best.
