A great design and tie Hans.
I like wingless soft hackle steelhead/sea trout flies, but I'm probably too
heavy with the hackle. Less is more.

Hans,

Beautiful fly. I love the look of this pattern. It looks like it would also be super effective as a soft hackel for trout and warmwater.

Thanks for sharing.
