I have to admit that it is probably my new favorite, too (from my stuff, at least). It just came together right, I guess. Actually, this technique is one I want to play with some more, and I think that I'll do some more serious pieces like this. Interesting how these 30 minute (or less) exercises can lead in so many directions and end-results. Everything from "Well, I'll have to try again," to "Wow, I'll have to try <i>that</i> again!" This fly is the latter for me. Jeff—Thanks! I have to admit that it is probably my new favorite, too (from my stuff, at least). It just came together right, I guess.

The warm tones with just the right hint of cool in background reminds me of the salmon flies I encountered during a visit to Yellowstone. The great thing about the 30 minute rule is that you cannot go back and run the risk of "overworking" a piece. I think that it is perfect! Job well done my friend.
