The Queen's Guard . . . Maybe

[Iasgair]

Ian told me to take the wings off the prototype for this fly and call it Queen's Guard. Knowing that the guards wear bearskin hats, I kept the wings on but made them black and added a beard.

Thank you Ian for a great name. I still may change the tail for moose. Work in progress I guess.

Classy with a retro, early 20th Century wet fly look. I like it.

Thank you Polecat501. I never thought about it that way but it surely works for me. I still need to tweak it in a bit by shortening the wing a bit and the herl on the back of the hook need to come up just a tad.

That would fish fantastic on the Scottish lochs.

It certainly has pulling for hill loch brownies written all over it! I heartily approve Iasgair
