My good golly Tie2fish this fly is awesome. This pattern is coming alive with light.
You know my affinity for flies grey. Please keep them coming friend!

Fish when you can, not when you should! Anything short of this is just a disaster.

Simple and pretty. A combination that can't be beat.

I am loving the bleached & dyed herl bodies. This fly looks to be, as they used to say, "a capital killer"
