I like the combo in the pattern. I know a few waters that would instigate some strikes.

By the way, it looks like it's gliding over the coast at sunset in the picture. :)
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

I'm not going to touch that line ( ;) ), but simply add "Beautiful Flies!"

Ariel, these have a really rich look. I dug up some stuff for small mouth flies, found a bunch of sparkly winging material that might approach that type of body. I use natural materials for 99% of my trout flies, but I could be swayed. These are nice.
