hopefully it works this time :?[attachimg=1]
These look fine Tommy. The wings are perhaps a shade longer than the classical tying, but I've no idea if it would make any difference. Getting wing length right is one of the things I found most difficult in fly tying. I still get it wrong.
thanks for the feedback, think i need to start the wings level with the bend of the hook
Yip, tie in 3-4 bunches along the shank, your flies look good and always a reliable catcher for me, like Fred says keep at it, every now and then you have a wee 'eureka' moment when something just clicks into place, and if you watch davie mcphail they happen a lot quicker! the best bits are about how to form the fly and proportions and wee shortcuts that otherwise take ages to figure out for yourself.
Meant to post that In the other thread :roll: oh well sure you catch my drift anyway!
dont know how imanaged not to put this on the fly tying thread :?
