...or tail... or bob That'll do a job anywhere mate. Lovely tie. What's the story?

Looks pretty fishy to me - I like the look of that wigeon, looks stonger coloured than teal.

Very nicely done. Whenever I tie any of the "Teal &" type flies these days I use widgeon as it's far more consistent & the markings, I think; are clearer.
