What a gorgeous fly. Talk about buggy, three game birds and two small game animals required to complete this tie. Thank you for sharing.

Nicest March Brown pattern I have ever seen. I tried to guess what PGP stood for before I read the recipe. I had it right - just wasn't sure where each material was on the fly. Scott, do you use some sort of laquer on the wing to keep that shape or is it how its tied in??

Thanks all. The wing is 2 sections of hen pheasant tail, stacked, folded and tied in. I’m sure they’ll come apart on the first fish.
