She will be wanting to tie some of these up
She is away to school today in her SB pyjamas for a dress down day.

These are fabulously tied flies and I am sure will catch well, but at the risk of incurring a lot of wrath, I have gotta say that I suspect they look not unlike a tequila or coral blob when travelling through the water.

I promise this is not a troll, it's just an observation

It's also not a criticism, I find a tequila blob about as good a top dropper fly as there is whether I am pulling lures or fishing nymphs.
