About this fly
This was inspired by the Fat Albert and the Hippie Stomper, thus Fat Hippie. I use a small ball of dubbing at the tail to keep the biots flared. This pattern has worked well in this color, purple and white, green and white and black and yellow.
What the Fat Hippie imitates
- Terrestrial (other: bees, flies, dung/hawthorn)
Inside the vault every material on this fly opens to its own card, and you can save the fly to your own boxes.
