A tasty morsel; nice use of materials that compliment each other well.

Buggingly attractive! This is a pattern any fish would love. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful color combinations on an elegant turned up eye hook. Nicely done friend!

A very nice fly, the combination of Olive and Starling is a popular and obviously
successful one in European flies, I have seen many North Country versions.
A nice Flymph version like this is very good to see.
Here is one for Italian Alpines from Taff Price :-
