Simply gorgeous!

Love the "International Version" photo. That hackle looks outstanding standing out like that! Very, very, good looking fly.

A very nice fly, I have not seen Kingfisher used on soft-hackled
flies much. There is asiatic kingfisher available from some suppliers here.
I'll have to investigate a bit further.

For information. Do not try to source the thread from your local shop. Try the nearest hospital. It is a suture.
Donald: Have to check out the asian version. Thanks for the tip.

Wow, Martin, this is amazing. Very beautiful high-tech fly, and perfect photographs.
Great to have you back on the forum.
You and Donald and your blue kingfisher hackles have really gotten my curiosity up.

BEAUTIFUL...sure hope the sutures aren't the kind that dissolve over time....of course that would mean you had a clean fresh hook to reuse .....
