Tom, this is a beautiful combination and very nice execution. The blend of the squirrel, CdL and silk is really nice.

I love all of your flies, Tom, but this one is my favorite so far. I like scruffy.

I like scruffy.
Nice fly--as the man said, "some men are born scruffy, some achieve scruffiness, and some have scruffiness thrust upon them." :)

Great pattern Izaak. That is a style I would reach for in a second. Every once in a while, a pattern comes up on this board that strikes a cord with me. This is one of them. Again, very well done.

I'm a scruffy fan, as well. That one looks like a real fish magnet. :D
