This fly is tied on a size 2 streamer hook. It's about 3" long from hook eye to the tip of the wing. It's bigger than all the rest except for the streamers here which are the same size: http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-22332-1.html

I can't wait to get out on the streams again but there has not been a lot of snow here this year. I was talking to one of my fishing buddies today about that. nice fly and great picture.

Thanks for your kind comment.
Last year was a bummer year for fishing here. In spring, we had about 30" of rain and the lakes filled to over flood pool. They were generating water almost constantly so we couildn't trout fish. Then when the water finally went down in the smallmouth streams, we didn't have any rain and they were almost impossible to float and fish. They didn't draw down the lakes this year so I suppose we'll have a better year of fishing than last. (Or they'll endup discharging a lot of water all summer again.)

You can always set up some hoops on your lawn and practice your casting. So long as you don't live in the woods that is. Of course the neighbors might give you funny looks fishing in your front yard...

true and I do live in the woods but there are lare parking lots near home :thumbup:

I don't think I'd use a parking lot. Especially if it's paved. That rough surface could eat up a fly line in a hurry when you go to pick up youir line and start a backcast. Grass is a lot more forgiving. Try the local parks.
