That's very cool--be sure to go to the second page to the see the "varnished" version. :) It would be very interesting to compare the "bare" silk fly with the varnished--while the latter looks very buggy to this human eye, I've always wondered if trout are really capable of seeing "under" a clear surface like that.

Remarkable indeed! Wish I had thought of that. I will gladly steal the idea for future patterns. Kudos to the original tyer.

Thanks for sharing this with us. ;)

I love the color combinations, the body, and the hackle color, with the final touch in the color in the head to set the whole fly off. Nicely done. The body is the coolest part to me.
