Thank you Alan! I can see this fly as being an absolute workhorse! Nice job on this one. You do mean FINE wire, and not SMALL, correct? I am gonna try some like that.

Mark, thank you for the comparison! The only thing I have really is Muskrat. I have a whole skin of it, and it will last me quite a while I would imagine! I am going to see about using substitutions where possible. (I have mole, but it is very short, as you know)
