Great fly! I can use something like that to mimick the Black Caddis on the Bighorn, or any of the Winter Stones on my local rivers. Well done.

Nothing like "basic black". Goes with everything, works anywhere.
great lookin' tie.

That'll work, gig. Nice shape and proportions.

Gig,
You nailed this one. Nice shaggy, buggy-looking fly. Like Bill says, nice shape and proportions.
Thanks for taking the time to let us see what you're up to this week.

Now that is a "GO TO" fly! Nice and buggy (sincere compliment). Looks like a confidence pattern.

Very nice and a worthy addition to any fly box.
