A very nice fly. I like the use of well known hackles and feathers.

That is really nice looking. How do you generally fish it? I Think my boys would like to work on tying something like that, of course they won’t look nearly as nice but we have fun working on them together.

Thanks much! I fish it the same as a bucktail streamer.
