Nice, that I like! :D

A mate of mine in Tasmania ties two flies, one a dry the other a stimulator that use the same or near enough to the same body materials/colour choices...... and they work REALLY well on both sides of the Tasman for wild brown trout.

I like the longer profile. Who makes the hook? I don't recognize the model number.

CC, You're hitting them out of the park lately. Very nice fly. With colors like those I can't see a fish moving to taste that morsel. Well done.
