I like this one Hans (I'm still digesting the s'more one)......I like the clear bead and that tups blend is very well suited....to me it has just enough red in it. The grey dubbing to wedge the bead works perfect and blends very very nicely.

Hmmm. No. Not convinced these are your best work Hans (this and the S'more)
The beads just don't do it for me soft hackle wise. Just a personal thing. Other's opinion may differ and thats the way it should be
