It is a good fly.

Interesting that G.J.Z, Myron and you are all talking about deer hair
skaters and provide illustrations that show three entirely different flies.
The first thing that popped into my mind on seeing yours was "muddler." If
memory serves, there are references to using a muddler as a dry fly in the
literature. I've tried it myself with small ones but without notable
success. As a matter of fact, I've never had much luck with muddlers at
all, regardless of how, when or where I've used them.....despite glowing
reports from many others. Go figure.
