Very nice little bug. Doesn't look like your too rusty after a long layoff.

Very cool fly! That would do well on the bluegills when ants or gnats are on the water in Florida!

 

your name, I get it!

Nice fly. The only slight quibble I have is that the hackle may be a wee bit long for that size fly. Just my opinion--I doubt it would make it less effective (and it will make it more stable).

Yes, it´s possible to tie legs longer, but I don´t prefere it. When the fly absorbs water then becomes heavier. I have found my compromise between legs length and ability easy to dry the fly.
