Razorback Crawler
Another fly from the experimental bench.
Hook - #8 Mustad Aorist
Body - dubbed, from shredded knitting yarn.
Underbody - lead foil from wine bottle seals.
Legs - Guinea hen hackle
Razorback - twisted ostrich herl
Head - silver glass bead
This another of those jobs that look good, but may be short on catching. We'll see.

Thank you, fellas.
I think I watch too many Sci-Fi movies.
And I really like Guinea hen hackle ... did I mention that?

I hope so, Andy. Its more of an experiment, anyway. I was stripping unsuccessful flies, over the last couple days. When I do that, I just mess around and see what develops on the salvaged hooks.
