That is a pretty little pattern. Part attractor, part imitation. Nice photo too.

Another fly for my to tie list before the rendezvous!

Very nice work indeed!

Tom, I have seen this pattern before and I haven't tied many tinsel bodies, but I heard from some credible sources that this one is effective for it's designed purpose. Can't hurt to give it a try. I'll say you've tied a cleaner version than Nick's, which is to be expected from your vise.

I'll have to add a few of these to the box as well. Maybe with a yellow seal and hare's cheek blend for the thorax. Thanks for sharing this one. Another very nice pattern.
