Hi Guys

Heres my first bash at a Turks Tarantula..............................

About 80% happy with it ......not to happy with the head shaping, also i feel the muddled head is pushing the fixed wing back to much ?

Thinking possibly not packing the muddler head so tight might help ??

Nice looking fly and the tying looks spot on

Very nice,maybe shorten the legs a bit,other than that it's spot on.A catcher for sure.
Thanks for posting.

Cheers Guys

Guess i dont tie many flies like this so they feel "funny" to me.............will tie a few more and fish them and see what happens

just keep trying you'r tying's are good anyway they will catch fish.
the only thing i would change is the white wing to a white marabou wing but that's just me
