Relaxing Fly Tying: Totally Tubular Fish

When I happened across this fly in an online issue of @intheloopmagazine, I was charmed by its blend of realism and whimsy. I found a small patch of peacock sword that begged to be the dorsal fin, and thus a meandering path away from some of the original ingredients was forged. While my version is undoubtedly peacock-centric, it’s the silhouette that’s the true star of the show here! 💙
