Not a bad fly for your 4000 post.
Have to disagree though I dont think it needs anything.
Top drawer.
Where did you get the deer hair from, has a nice kind of washed out look about it.

Thanks Graham, never even realised I was up to 4000, jeezz I must do some spamming!

Got the deer hair from Foxons, but I think it's available from any Veniards Stockist.

I have chartreuse deer hair and it looks a lot more vivid rather than kendall mint cake but still a lovely tie

As far as I can see all it needs is a fishy fishy on the end of it.

Very fishy, fishy indeed. IMO it does need something : water.
