Rodger - I am enjoying your retirement. ;) :D Great fly. Nice to see the long shanked hook.

An excellent spider. Simple with good colour combination.
The longshank is very good.

Great fly pattern. I would have kept the body shorter and still used the longer hook.

A beautiful tie well suited for a float tube presentation! ;) It reminds me of a similar shaped old NW pattern for chironomids. The Skinny Minnie was tied with a peacock body.

Really nice work with that block-spun body, Rodger, and your hackle is always top-notch.

Rodger, I'm enjoying your retirement as well. Nice subtle approach and a very colorful result. The cinnamon thread should really come alive when this is wet. Thanks for sharing this one.

Minimalistic fly tying at its best :)
