Nicely done, Bill. One of my favorite patterns, especially during the warmer, caddis days on the St. Vrain.

I love the unruly curvature of waterhen and golden plover. This makes perfection impossible, thus adding to beauty.

Bill,

How did you form the body on this fly? Is this touch dubbed, or spun? Share your secrets... ;)

I’ll take a dozen... :twisted:

Years ago, I was lucky to receive a full Golden Plover skin from a friend and also a wing or two since then. I love tying various dressings with the GP hackles and I think the GP hackles are one of the prettiest hackles available.
