Bibio Snatcher

[jetta1967]

I've just started fishing/tying again after a few years break. There are plenty of new patterns and materials to catch up on. One "new" pattern that really catches my eye is the Snatcher. So one of the first patterns I've attempted to ease my way back into tying is a Bibio Snatcher. I know there are a few things wrong, but hopefully these will iron themselves out as I tie more and more again.
Any constructive criticism will be more than welcome. And can I say that the forum is superb.
Regards,
John.

Thanks for the welcome. Looking forward to reading all of the great advice and seeing all the flies and techniques.

Gary - leave plenty of room for the head at the end of the dressing, finish the fly with a nice bullet head, it gets one coat of cheap fly tying varnish, allowed to dry for at least 24 hours and then gets a second coat of the same varnish.
