Edie, the Black Prince looks good.

 

What are the blue/green feathers in the body? I don't recognize them.

These next of flies I just refer to as Bream Candy or Bream Bisquits. I'm cheap and don't throw much away, I save it for flys like this.

I can't even begin to tell you how many different kinds of furs and synthetics are in this dubbing.

I save all my scraps and shave them with an electeric beard trimmer and razor and then put them in a coffee bean grinder and make simple Bream flies with it.

Bream Bisquits, I love it! :) I like the idea of saving "remnants" of materials that I would normally discard for flies such as these, as well -- very efficient. Nice flies!
