Re: The Yellow Woodcock.
I knew I would like this one, before even opening this post. 
Gorgeous fly, Tom.

Re: The Yellow Woodcock.
Nice looking fly dressing. Next to Golden Plover, I think Woodcock and Red Grouse hackles make great looking flies with various colored silk bodies with / without dubbings.
Re: The Yellow Woodcock.
I really like that, Tom.

Re: The Yellow Woodcock.
Beauty. Woodcock is definitely one of my favorite soft hackles to work with.
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

Re: The Yellow Woodcock.
Tom,
I love the way the moderately bright yellow dubbing (my interpretation) contrasts with the beautiful, yet much darker woodcock! It's these hard contrasts that make good fish catchers! I am also loving the short and well dubbed body and general shape of it! I strive for these looks in my tying but fail miserably most of the time! Your offering is what I like to see and you did really well with it!
Great job friend!

Fish when you can, not when you should! Anything short of this is just a disaster.
Re: The Yellow Woodcock.
Great looking fly mate. I will tie a few myself, my only change will be a white underbody, ok, I admit to using while uni-stretch. I might try a few on some gold plated hooks. Yep, not trad. but they are a homage to a great old gentleman who I guided some years ago who only used gold plated hooks. If anyone wants more info on this gentleman let me know and I’ll state my reason.
Love both fly fishing and fly tying, been doing it for a while
