Nicely done Tom. This is one of my favorite classic flymph patterns for fishing.

That's a beauty, Tom. The proportions and color are what I expect on a JL tie of that pattern. (Personally I would build a teeny bit more taper into the abdomen, but that's just me channeling Pete Hidy.
)

thats a very nice fly Tom - one of my personal FAVORITES!
I wouldn't use that old hook, though
Send all those ALLCOCKS W205's to THEROE for proper disposal
Soft and wet - the only way....
