Looks good Stevie. All the viewers, were just to stunned by the fly to leave any comment. How about doing it with a gold tag & yellow tail?

Reds a great attractor colours, but, in this fly, i think you've gone a bit ott, very well tied as usual but in my humble opinion, maybe a bit more black somewhere to make it more subtle
