The Snaffler

[wingman]

Tied this one up tonight, now it may or may not be a dabbler, but I simply call it 'The Snaffler'.

Well done Mark, I like this. What is the feather on the collar?
Thanks

Nice one Mark, nice tie. It'll get snaffled right enough!

Looks a bit like a Secret Weapon. Nice looking flee.

Thanks men for the compliments and one from Rob also, I am highly honoured, must get that printed off, framed and put on the wall, wonder if rob will sign it?
Darwin the hackle is an english partridge hackle from the lower back, very near the tail if not on it. There's also a brown cock hackle in there to somewhere and a furnace palmered hackle, dubbed with fiery brown seals fur and ribbed with fine oval silver tinsel and topping of golden pheasant for the tail, tied on a long shank kamasan with grey thread.

If it doesn't catch I'll change its name to 'The Sniffler'.

Mark,
Thanks for that. I really like this feather, very buggy-almost wicked looking.
Nice work.
