In the cold light of photography, I have to agree with a Savage PM, the proportions are for a size 10, not a 12. The rib is from Rioja bottles.

Off to strip some 'ooks, and strangle a few mallard

Jim, Stewarty doesn't need flies, as we both know. He only takes to the oars to stop the fish jumping into the boat after him.

Sod what others say about the proportions.
If you look at the fly you tie and think to yourself.............. Yeahhhh... that will catch a fish............ then go stick it on your line and catch a fish.

Please don't be angry on my behalf. I've not been fly fishing for very long, and been tying for a but few weeks. I put these up for criticism, it's welcome.

There are some great tyers on here and I appreciate any advice.
