I'm with w'head -- that is a beautiful pattern. Very cool blend of materials.

Oh now that is cool. I like the looks of these flies in general, but the pattern and execution here is amazing. This is beautiful. What a great use of the 1120 as well.

Re: Mottled Brown and Grouse
I tied one almost identical but I used olive silk. Yours is much better. I'm having huge issues with the hackle. It's always too long or I tie it in upside down or something. I will keep trying though. Yours is beautiful.
