It’s cold out so I’m killing time until we head out for dinner. Nothing in mind when I started but this is what I ended up with. Not sure how it’s gonna fish but I can’t wait to find out. I’m hoping fur side up on strip, on its side at rest. 

Hook - Size 6 5XL

Body - Mylar tubing

Tail - Olive micro mink zonker

 I've always admired Rick's flies (and they work really well!).  There's a certain detail and eloquence to his flies . . . reminiscent of Chuck Stranahan's work.   

Regards,
