Here it is… Tied a jade dragon… Spent 5 hours on this silly fly…
Ivan…WOW, that is a seriously beautiful work of art! 
Ivan,
Very nicely dressed fly. You should check around for some really small ostrich herl. It really makes a difference. Check for it at www.feathersmc.com , very nice materials there.
Again, very nice.

The rib is a little off…
Ivan,
Nice fly. I can see that fly taking 5 hours.
I had to look hard to find it.
I don’t think I would tear it apart to fix it, though. 
Someday I’ll get into this, until then I thank you for sharing!

One of these days, Im gonna tie a perfect fly… Thats what i keep tellin myself anyhow… Yea rite…
YEA!!!
Looks good, Ivan. I like it a lot!
It would have taken me 10. It’s gorgeous
Nice job Bugman. The time you spent on it show’s.
I despair at my pitiful attempts to put feather to steel.
Fantastic job on the fly. Even if I spent 20 hours, I’d have to cut it all off and start over. 
I really envy the talent and patience to tie such a piece of art. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Looks fantastic to me.

That fly is absolutely beautiful !
Well done, bugman! Does your fly have a story behind it? How’d you come up with the name?
