Again , very neat tying , body work is tight for sure :)
This fly is definitely tied in low water fashion . From what I can tell , I believe this fly will sink like a stone though .
Tied sparse and with such a thin body on a large iron , not really too much holding this fly back from sinking .

Nice work !!

Not wishing to hijack, but to add to the conversation regarding low water, slow flow flies, the Sneaky is an all-time fav of mine, designed just for those conditions (more here:http://theriverscourse.blogspot.com/2011/04/sneaky.html) :

Nice one, I see by the construction of the fly how it would move slower, thank bud
