little 8" 5 segment bull trout pattern.
Even though I'm pretty good at cutting way back on materials, a lot went into the guts on this. 3 20mm segments in the back: tail, then 2 segments of 2 types of flash with fox, then a 2/0 Ahrex TP610 with bucktail, flash, & saddle hackle, then a 35mm shank up front with bucktail, flash, saddle, FTD big game dubbed head, fish skull.
Once I get her wet, she'll slim down nicely....if (when) I lose this, I might cry.
