Body Hackle. black palmerd 1/3 back down the body
Wing. orange arctic fox with 4 strands of orange mirror flashover, brown and white bucktail mixed with bronze gliss'n'glow over, fiery brown arctic fox.

I'm liking that a lot UG. Nice detail in the rib

Proportionally it looks good, nice long front hackle: back to the vice!

Cheers

Cracker Tony.

Lovely work on the rib. the double oval really makes the floss stand out on the body
