My eyes and my patience level are obviously way below par with yours. Beautiful work.

Very cool fly Andy. Looks like a mayyfly drake. That foam? body looks very buoyant. Did you use a wing burner for the wings?

Yes the body is foam and the wings are made of a thin sheet of acetate film..I cut the wings out by hand and then hand form each vein with a bodkin..

Man... Are there any galleries for flies? Becase if there are, they just have to have some of yours. Exposed on the best spot.
