It sits quite low resting on the hackle which leaves a healthy looking footprint. The bend of the hook hangs bit like a klink but not as severe.

tonyt: no I've not fished either of them yet, this morning was the first time I tied them and number 2/3 the first time I tried that style. They are both going for a dip in the river Windrush tomorrow evening .

Gus: The loose loop was created by making a furled hackle as in Ian Moutters Imitative Fly Tying book and relaxing it a bit.

Thanks all for your kind words-much appreciated.
