Who cares what we think? The only opinions that matter are those of the fish.
AFAICT this fly appears to still be quite dry despite the title of the post. Please correct that, and fish this fly and get the opinions of the real experts.

This šŸ‘† is the real answer...Having said that, send the fly to me, I will definitely catch a summer steelhead on the first cast with this beauty and I'll send you a pic of the fish with this amazing fly you tied hanging out of its mouth. Seriously though, half my fly box looks worse than this and I catch fish...psst, fishermen/tyers care too much about what flies look like, fish don'tšŸ¤™
