norm, Howdy;

Beauty of a fly norm, hummmmm
sh-s-s-s-s-s, don't tell anyone.
My warm water roots are showing, when I saw this my mind,
such as it is, turned the hook over, fixed a set of barbell/bead chain
eyes to it and turned it into a jig for crappie and such.

I like it. I never seen anyone use biots as a tail that way and the hackle and herl look good together.
