Ray,

Can't add much to all that's been said. Love the claret hackle and the floss bosy is smooth as.....well......silk.

Well!!!!!
What can I say that has not already been said by everyone else.
A beautifully conceived and executed piece of fly dressing.

The fly is breathtaking. The photo was so impressive that the whole thing just blows you away. The total package here. My jaw hit the floor.

First time I've seen claret partridge. Like it. A lot! Did you do that yourself?

Ray, this turned out really nice. Good use of the hackle.
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.
