Hans,

Doesn't look anything like Jodie Foster ;)
Very nice; I like it's inner glow.

Good one, Scott. That's the first thing I thought of too. Nice tie.

Nothing to do with Jodie Foster, actually. All to do with the claret color scheme - and Clarice just 'felt' like a suitable name http://www.flyforums.co.uk/images/smilies/cool.gif

First off I like to say It good having you back. You have been missed.

Hans,

You note, Tied low water style. What do you mean by that?

TF,

Low water style simply means tied short, the fly is effectively sized for a smaller hook. The term comes from the conditions in summer and early fall, when the rivers run low. Smaller patterns become more effective, but the hook size is retained.

Gotcha. Thanks
