It's amazing to me how complicated we make the art/issue of fly tying when something as simple as this pattern works as well now as it did a century ago. Not that it isn't fun to try to get 7 different materials to fit on a size 14 hook. Fish on.

Thanks for this one. It's one of my favorites either with Snipe, Starling or Partridge.
