Dry fly late night

I liked the way this fly's tail came out.  had me a late night session,  any favorites?  99% of my flies are made on a whim, usually with few materials each. The fly above was made with a minimal amount of lemon wood duck, and a grizzly hackle.   Sometimes my experimenting with few materials makes me use them in new or unexpected ways, it keeps it fun & creative.  (or maybe that was the 6-pack of #9 last night)
