I started this one about a month ago and did the entire body. It had been sitting on my bench since then waiting for a wing, and it took a while for me to build up the courage to finish it.
Sunday night I stuck it in the vise again and complete everthing except roof topping and horns. Last night i finished it off.
Pretty happy overall. There are a couple of stylistic and proportional choices I made which I think are not perfect - some you win some you lose I suppose.
THis is probably one of the most complex flies I've tied, its right up there with, if not above, Jock Scott, in terms of fiddliness - every thread wraps counts on this one, and if you've too many it will show....
Hope you all like it. Hook is a Nobel HB from Ronn Lucas.
