Simply perfect. What a handsome pattern.

I am a bit perplexed by the name. Can you provide the background?

Ray,

Named for my Colorado great nephew “Cooper” I’m sure this is probably an established pattern under another name. Was just tinkering around before bed last night. Thanks for the compliments.

Nicely done. Your great nephew will be proud.

From the name, I envisioned a late night raid on the chicken coop by the neighborhood fox. Nicely dressed fly.

Great tie, nice fly…… I still don’t catch fish on purple
