KUDO's to you... really a very nice tie... I just knocked out a few White Irresistible for an article I wrote for a newsletter and it can be tricky trimming the deer-hair body without cutting off the tail in the process...

PS.. the Summer 2020 Fly Tyer mentions both these patterns...

I think that's the same fly as in the Adams Irresitable, you just photoshopped the hackles to different color.



Yes, I'm kidding. Very nice, yet again.

I'm not fond of spinning deer hair, but I may need to practice a bit. With the weather right now, flies like this looks like "fun with bluegills".
