Nice fly Hans. Would you comment on how you did the stripe, is that just one hair of bucktail wrapped on there or is it a couple of hairs?

Thanks

Nice tie there Hans. I’m curious to the number of wraps you used on the hackle?

Beautiful fly! I’m amazed at how well the bucktail laid. Thanks Hans for posting your work.
