Striking fly, although in the photo, on this particular monitor, the body looks more orange than scarlet. In fact, it looks a a perfect fly for October.

I bet that would work well for an October caddis.

Did you use stainless steel wire for your dubbing brush? The wire has a nice silver twinkle under the dubbing. Very nice effect.

Ray,

The wire is fine bright copper.
