Very nice fly chug two bars on the tippet tail showing, and the seal dubbed body is classic- knocked that one out of the park.

Thanks, I really liked tying this one. Now I just gotta get me to a loch...

Super duper, nice hook.  So much buggier with a dubbed vs a thread body.

I'll take the Brooks Sprout.  May need to sub post material if I can't get it at the local shop.  Would that be ok?

It’s totally fine to tie YOUR version of the fly.  
 

look forward to seeing it. Have fun with it.

I often think the best fly patterns are the ones that lend themselves to material substitutions.  Looking forward to seeing yours.
