Default A couple of wings

I realised that my boxes seemed to be filling up with lots of flies for a bit of a wave but needed to balance that up a bit so thought I would start on some winged wets.
The first one could probably do with a slightly deeper wing but over all pleased with them.
All comments welcome

And who wouldn't be? Delightful ties Kev. Tend to agree with you on the top one, but that's really nit-picking - it's only a fibre or two out, You'd probably be marked down ever so slightly in a technical tying comp for that, but for me it's a beauty, far and away my favourite of the two. Sod the the technical details... just look at that profile

Cheers Rob I have to admit on the 1st one I probably concentrated more on the body than anything with the rusty floss than anything trying to get no bumps or snags as my hands aren't suited very well to floss but the wives hand cream seemed to work well

This is what comes of the long dark winter nights up there, plenty of practice.
Keep up the good work.
