Forget-me-not, that's hilarious.
That is the best line of the year so far!

No imagination involved in this response, Mike - it just looks like a sand eel. Nice tie.

Great looking fly Mike! Do you use Eagle Claw #253 hooks? If you do, can you recommend a place where the rest of us can get hooks?

Beautifully and tastefully done.
How many bucktail hair did you put on? like Ken Abrames's way of counting hair.
How's "Liberty Flat Wing" for the classic name?

I don't "count"hairs, I tie for the water conditions,ie;clear water,sparce,murky water, fuller.This year I need FULL flies,our water is like coffee, w/ all this rain.
