Ah blue...the new purple. I really like this one. It should bring somoe fish to hand for you.
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

Nice fly Chase creek! Blue body materials never caught my eye until I obtained a few spools of Pearsall's blue thread. Now I see a blue body on a fly & admire it.

I like the touch dubbing! It adds some softness, "halo effect", to the body. Well done! ;)

By the way, anyone know where one can find some of that blue Pearsall's? :D

Another nice one, CC. Great fly. I've been meaning to tie up a number of flies with a dubbed head. The proportions of this do it for me. It's on a very long list, but I'll get to it.
