Who knows what a fish thinks, but to me it looks like a
pretty good tadpole imitation.

Thanks for the replies. I think I might try it on the bluegills in the lake
by my house this weekend. If it doesn't freeze over....again. Snow and ice
suck in April.

Whatever your differences with Ken may be, he at least gave an honest,
reasonable, thoughtful reply to my post. It would have been nice to see the
same from you. I have done nothing to offend you. Please refrain from
malicious replies to unrelated posts. Thanks.

Ugly? Looks good to me. I would use that for catching
Montana trout it shallow, still water lagoons. On the Beartooth
Plateau near Cooke City, for instance, there are too many
deep cold water lakes to count. But the place to catch fish
in summer, in those lakes, is in the shallow water at edges,
particularly
in lagoons where the water is 3-5 feet deep. If you can find
water like that, that's where the big fish will be. And they'd eat
that fly,
if you threw it at them. I'm sure of it.

Sometimes fish will try to take my strike indicator while nymph fishing.
Your fly looks infinitely more like a real bug than an orange foam strike
indicator.

Your fly has buggy looking hackle, and peacock herl which is a known fish
attractor. It might not be the greatest fly of all time, but any hook
wrapped with some peacock herl will catch fish, on the surface or
subsurface.
