Sweet fly. The hook gives it a nice racy look.

Very nice and in a practical size.
Is that a 200R style hook equivalent?

Cool fly!
I agree about the hook - looks like it's speeding just sitting there.

It is similar. Straight eye, 3XL with a bit more dropped hook bend than the 200R. It has more gape as a result. As Ray said, it's a bit racy too!Mataura mayfly wrote: Is that a 200R style hook equivalent?

A beautiful Sparrow variation. Love it!! The fish here are awfully attracted to this style of fly.

I thought I'd drop a line to let you know I am still alive and kicking.
I like the fly very much, I'm glad standards are being maintained.

DONALD, HOWDY!!!
As stated by Bill, we have been concerned, good to see that you are still looking down at the flowers
instead of up at the root systems ...
