That is awesome. Do you run a bead of glue to secure the hackle to the body or tie it in at the eye?

Can't help saying this.....but,
"Yeah, but who likes little boobies?"
Hope your son understands.
Inspired by @Matt B sort of a cross riff between his purple bugger and the translucent pattern above. Gonna be on the river for a few days this week and will fish these along with some of the bazillion others I've tied up recently for whatever is around. Just marabou tail, couple strands of flash and small pearl palmered chenille wound thru goose flank hackle.
