Bill, that's fantastic. Where did the pattern come from?

That's a classy fly.

t2f,

In the photo you linked to, it almost looks like the antique gold wire and the Bronze Mallard are both used as a ribbing. Is this the case? Excellent looking fly with the purple silk showing through like that. Well dressed.
