Not to terrible there Bert. Should work a treat.
Try one with a slightly less hackled body for calmer conditions as well.

Nice daddy Bert.....Dick Walker wrote about trigger colours of natural flies ,green being the colour he associated with daddies.Not sure how he came to that conclusion but I'll take his word for it.......Anyway the rootbeer body gives your fly a greenish hue.It'll be interesting to hear how it does....
