Love it! Nice modern twist on a classic.

[Premerger]

That's a nice blend Tom and a clever tie.
Will give it a whirl myself when no one is watching the food processor

Up to your usual high standards, Tom. That dubbing blend could be especially effective in turbid water conditions.

[Old Hat]

Nice blend. Those seem very well constructed and proportioned. Should be a great general practitioner.

[Mataura mayfly]

This would be a near perfect fly for slightly off colour water here. The flash in that dubbing blend really "pops" and it could be just the right combination to catch a trouts eye on those times a more subtle variation may swing by close, but not close enough to be noticed.

Tom,
You started a lively exchange with this.
That Ice Dub is like little laser beams that go straight into the trout's eyes.

[Kelly L.]

Izaak, I am really enjoying this pattern. I love the addition of the ice dub into the mix. This fly pops. I bet it would be a killer patten here, especially right now. (if it weren't so COLD)

Enhanced is a great description. A classic with a lot of attraction. Beautiful set. Thanks for sharing these.
