I gave this fly to a friend who decided to have some fun and apply her talent to a portrait.

I tend to savor little victories; a straight underwing one day, build the wing the next. Then I take a shot at mounting the wing properly. It probably took be a week to finish this fly. After a step I tie flies for the Gaspe or Labrador.

Several times I thought about quitting and tying a bonesfish fly instead.
