    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.

    *chuckle*
    Nothing to do with Jodie Foster, actually. All to do with the claret color scheme - and Clarice just 'felt' like a suitable name

    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.

    Cheers,
