Good! It's a bit gaudy but I'm sure it'll have it's place. I'll send her a couple.

The herl is actually underneath the floss so it should be good for a couple of fish!

Vicki, I picked on your reverse rib method, but it took a few looks to see it. Nicely concieved. I'm liking the Tenkara flies a lot. Once I put a few more miles on the rods I'm using now (at least get some slime in the cork) I'm sure I'll break down and give this whole zen/simply elegant fishing method a go. But not yet. Love the flies though.
