Hans - the body is a perfect illustration of the cross-wraps you mentioned in an earlier post. Immaculate dressing.

Hans, this looks spot on to me too. I agree with Ray on the wire rib, but what I take away from this is....I need to get my hands on some pintail barbs. This is a nice combination.

Worth seeing . . . possibly, again.

So glad to see this one again. A pile of flies with this proportion and material selection would make me happy for a very long time. Exceptional.
