Hans - Can you explain how you formed the thorax on this fly. I am guessing you used a split thread technique, with frayed tying thread. Please reveal your tying secrets...

Superbly executed, by the way. Such a lovely fly.

Hi Ray,

No secrets 8-) A single turn of chenille - that's it.

Agreed. Hans it's great to see something for grayling. A single turn of chenille. I would not have thought of that. Nice.
