Dearest Premerger,
M-E-O-W-W-W! That is a really cool pattern on a really cool looking hook! This "series", if I may call it that, is quite interesting! Please keep'm coming!

Hello DOUGSDEN!
I'm glad you like pattern and hook.
This week will tell if our trout like it too

All the best,
Tim (New Zealand).

Laugh it up fuzzball!

Great fly Tim. Nice and scruffy (compliment). Love it.

Will see whether a fish strikes back Ray

May the Force be with you young Skywalker as you take the good fight to the dark side of the North Island Brown Trouts.

Good one. I am a huge Star Wars fan. I always loved the scenes with Chewie.

I have no doubt about the effectiveness of this fly. Just wish I could stand back and watch you fish it.

Tim, I'm digging the pattern. I would thought Chewie would be bigger.

I like this 6/0 thread for a split thread. It's a nice effect to see the thread compliment the dubbing.
