Thanks. Glad you like it. 99% of my designs are simple and straightforward so anyone can tie them. The downside is there is nowhere to hide your mistakes.

Temple dog is great for double hooks as you can build a nice full wing. You can start with arctic fox then put temple dog over that but longer. Some have 3 or 4 layers of various foxes to create a high and swept back tapered wing. When wet it tapers down to a nice long teardrop and has good movement. Flash is used in between the layers for bling and it helps the whole wing stick together. It will work for intruders and tube flies as well. Not so well on singles.
