I didn't pay attention to who posted the pattern, when I saw the fly I thought to my self, "that looks like something Ray would do"....'Tis a beaut for sure!

Ray, that's a gorgeous fly and Murray's right...it looks like a Tucker. Lets wet some of these early this Spring!

 

This might be a high mark in the photography as well. Just fantastic.

I like this one Ray. It is a Tucker for sure but it initially reminded me of a simplified Rat style without the hairwing.

Airtight, very very nice job. I'm not usually a fan of the orange looks sometimes but you nailed it, all the way around.

 

Thanks for the flyporn
