Summer On the Dean

So my buddy Mike Opitz, the older brother of my fishing partner Chris, is off to the Dean this summer, to chase some hot chrome, fresh from the salt. I can't send him up there empty handed, so down to the basement I go. My desk was a complete disaster, so after a couple of nights of cleaning, I finally sat down to try to do some damage. Here's the first thing I came up with. A kingfisher blue intruder with the saddle hackle flanking tails that Mike likes so much. He prefers white for the tails, but I had these blue ones that were just too sexy to pass up. The photo just doesn't do this color justice. Stay posted, there's more to come.
