Very interesting combination of materials. Maybe I'll give this one a try. I have everything but the Ice Dub. HMMM.

Lovely. I like how the dubbing darkened a little after it was soaked. Very nice combination of materials.

I'll make it three out of three in favor of this lovely wee wet fly. When I saw the first picture I thought "On a size 14 hook that would be deadly." Great minds must think alike. The fly looks great wet, but would love to see the action of the hackle and abdomen fibers in a slight current. Bet it just springs to life.
