Re: Just Messing Around
Bill, my first reaction, upon seeing this fly, was laughter. The fuzzy tail just looks so cute, I couldn't resist chuckling. It just makes me feel happy.
Fantastic, fly by the way. Wonderful creativity and perfectly executed. I am a big fan of Polly Rosborough's "Casual Dress", and I can see the influence in your design. I love the blending of this dressing and the Tenkara style. Superb...

Re: Just Messing Around
Well now, I have the right materials, except no maroon I don't think. A nice person sent me some of that Dutch Hare too. I am busy with my hook organization. It is going rather slow. This fly is terrific. I have never tied a fly like that in my life, but now, I am tempted.

t2f,
Great looking fly. That hair hackle is going to drive fish crazy. I never thought I would hear a fly described as having a "cute butt".
