Nice job. Jim McVay would have appreciated your precision in re-creating his fly. Rupert Leadon, the guide, would, with each hook up say, "Gotcha"... and Jim was using a fly he had tied with fibers from the floor of the car that brought him to the Andros Island Bonefish Club. So he named the fly the "Gotcha"... Jim's son Cole lives there on Andros near the club. First class guy.

Beautiful Fly and an absolute KILLER!

Indeed, Charlie, you did a nice job on that fly and the head!

Heh, back in the day I tied a lot of flies with tinsel tubing wings. I still have quite a few left from decades ago. I caught a trout a few weeks ago with one I tied back in the 80s... Great fly as always. Love your videos.
