I like that a lot, Ruard.

This may be my new favorite, Ruard. Gorgeous little fly. I would fish this pattern with great confidence.

Nicely done. That hackle has a wonderful sheen to it. I need a Magpie. But where would I put it? I need to tie through a lot of material before adding more. I have a lot of work to do.

I must admit, I am getting hooked on these straight eyes!

Beginning to add to the minimalist nature of the soft hackle designs, for me...
And that's not to mention what you've done on the shank of this one, Ruard...

Ok Ok Andrew, the hackle could be a bit more sparse, will try it next time
