The second fly is a black pennel as Tommy said, the next time you dress it give it a silver butt, and add a yellow crest feather to it, you will then have the original pennel as well. Very underrated fly, works well for both brown and rainbows, bob or tail.

Thanks for your kind words Sam. I'm pleased with my flies so far but its getting addictive. Each time I do one I find a slight difference between it and the picture so have to try again! haha! From what you have said I will have a go at tying an Original Pennel, thanks.

Indeed, thanks Tommy. No doubt I'll be on here shouting about it in the spring if Amelia's fly catches anything!
