Keep trying it as your first results are wonderful!

That's a great looking fly--I've always thought that copper lets you straddle the line between "naturalistic" and "attractor" especially using a darker color palette like this fly does.

Izaak,
I like this one alot! The flat spooled cooper is really cool. I see a great future in this stuff as well as a run on it at our local fly shops. It did come from a shop didn't it? Maybe a craft store?

Copper is an underutilized color. Gorgeous fly, Tom. Perfection.
