John 21:3 Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We will go with you.” They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

Many thanks for the inspiration! Superb tying. A modern touch of classic tying.

Simon, Lovely flies, would you be surprised to learn that is very nearly an existing pattern? Take out the wings and you have a Beacon Beige. A fly I've had a lot of success with.
Cheers,
C.
