Rebel/variant

[the stig]

[B]Tried the Rebel/variant this morning I know the head is a bit messy but due to the size of hook and the amount of dressing its a bit bulky but will work on it
all comments good or bad would be most welcome

I think you've done your own crit I'd happily fish that but as you say, would prefer it a bit slimmer.

The proportions are very good Bert, get the size of the head down and it would be spot on. You maybe need to be more economical with your thread wraps and could maybe try some finer stronger thread to help keep the bulk of the head down, but really good attempt at a fairly difficult tie.

Thanks Bill 1 and wingman for ur comments like said first attempt at this fly it was from one of Davy Mcphails tying on u-tube will work on head or like u said mark get finer thread
cheers bert

Nothing wrong with that one Bert and have yet to see one with a dainty head due to the nature of the tie.
