Hans,
De-licious looking pattern friend. Our mutual friend Ruard is slowly winning me over to the look and the physics behind the straight eye hook. I think anything you two do looks great on any hook you choose!

Very nice. I can see the fish being quite attracted to this one!

Hans I realize you've tied this slender as a buzzer pattern and it looks great. I've been using this similar technique for caddis pattern and they proved very productive. The d-rib in open wraps helps me control some wild fibered dubbing and appears lively. Its funny that just a few days ago I tied a few in olive with a blackbird hackle not dissimilar to this one, although more robust. Great fly. Thanks for sharing this one.
