Very nice looking wee fly!
I like the addition of the yellow crest to add a bit of an attention getter. Nice neat tying on a #20.
Once you open the post, the attached photo "resizes" to a better viewing window, so all is good.

Oh yeah! That should get some attention all right. Nicely tied.

Very thoughtful. Just enough flash to grab some attention. I like.

Another style to add to my try-it list. Going in the file.

This fly in this size should really be a killer. Nice tie. I thought the wing was a synthetic from the pic but kudos on the golden pheasant crest. Nice touch.
