A very nice treatment of a modern classic. A deadly pattern. Shop versions (still a very popular pattern in Northern CA) have a tendency to be over-dressed in my opinion, and Hans did a good job keeping the profile slim. I tend not to use a split-thread/dubbing loop method for the head, however, because I find more modestly dubbed versions of this fly to be more effective. From the photos, it does not look like Cal did either, but it is a common modification often seen in shop flies.
