Rodger, this looks like a killer pattern to me. I really like the possum body and bleeding thorax.

Does that photo look like it was taken on the side of a road ?
(All joking aside, that is a
very nice fly, C.C.)

Some day, I'll come up with something that simulates tire tread marks on dubbing materials. Then I'll be able to quit my day job.

We do see the odd one splatted on the roads thanks to big rig milk tankers, but most of the bleeding ones I see are thanks to my Brno Model 1 .22lr and 37 grain hollow points.

The red thorax is a real eye catcher! I bet it will be a fish catcher too. Nice!
