    Another beautifully dressed streamer. Is the body metal tinsel or mylar?

    Very nice indeed!!! Those look so simplistic, but I can say they don't turn that good the first few tries. The head look exceptionally well. Perfect shape and proportion and nice smooth finish. What size hook is that?

    I like that fly a whole lot. You have the Forgotten Flies book? I would love to have that book, but it is ridiculously expensive now. Have you fished this streamer? I would like to tie some of them too.
