Even your scraggly flies are impeccable.
Love this pattern. The spiky body hackle will give this fly a nice slow decent.
I’m also reminded of the classic woolly worm pattern.

Scraggly? I think not. This is the pattern that the Bread Crust has always aspired to be; the Bread Crust grew up tattooed trailer trash, while Norm's Scraggly is kin to John Houseman and Hah-vahd.
