@Sandan back at you. Now if I could only get vaccinated, I might transport my sorry, diabetes-ridden, transplanted a## to a proper spring creek, and meet a nice trout with it.

If "more is better", then this should be the best! More color, more body hackle, more winging materials and more collar hackle...and a hot spot to boot!
