Steve,

A very nice fly that will surely catch you fish. Nice work.

Your biot looks good. I like the ridge as I think of it as defining the rib and perhaps it is suggesting the gills along a nymph's body. I am sure the fish don't care. As a buzzer pattern, I think your choice was spot on.

What's under the biot? Thread build up? Personal preference I suppose, but I like very little under the biot. Keep it as slim as possible to avoid unnecessary weight to the fly.

What thread are you using?

Anyway, as I said a great effort - and the product is a fly I would happily and confidently fish with.

Cheers,
