Dame Juliana

Nondescript often equates versatile and effective. This has to be a good thing, no? 8-)

I gotta ask... Why did you name it "Dame Juliana"? I am surprised you would give something with a bad-hair-day, a woman's name. (humor/ducking and running for cover/laughing as I go)

Fantastic fly, by the way...

Buggy looking with a little hackle, that will definitely catch fish around here too. Good all around fly.

This one resonates with me. Nice one. I like the effect of the wire brush.

Nice looking pattern. I suspect that would do very well here for a scud or aquatic sow bug pattern.
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

A great looking pattern and one I'd love to have in my fly box :)
