This one is way cool. I find it very appealing. I can't put my finger on it, but it is rich.

Oh, now I get it. I like the name Granny Smith better for the fly. Great fly regardless of the name though, Hans!

Well she is to my kids, we just don't call her that to her face.

Re: Granny
I'm sure I could use that fly somewhere. Beautifully tied as per usual Hans
Life is good, why waste it.
