Default Hog?

So not sure on the naming protocol on these, is it a sedgehog?
Been tying a few and think they are going better.
Critique welcome.

Marks,

Very nicely tied. And to answer your question, its a hedgehog. Sedgehogs have a hackle at the front.

Thanks for comments and the confirmation on the correct name.

dabhoy, the head has a very small pinch of Lite-Brite pearl-n-olive dubbing. Needs a little more teasing out with the velcro yet.

Cheers,
Mark

I wouldn't tease to much out, there are times when little is more and in my opinion this is one of those times.
I know you probably tied it for rainbows but it would nail a few sea trout and river browns too.
