Love the shipmans and how the fibres are picked out, very foody looking and scruffy (it'll catch)

Also like the profile of your buzzers, i prefer them slim, looks like lite brite, you have used ? i have tied some of these myself, very nice effect.

The buzzer with the (marabou ?) tail, just looks odd to my untrained eye, how have you found this to fish with craig ?.

As all other have said before, your creations are a credit to yourslef and an inspiration for anyone who has a disability (hope i'm choosing the right word) and no offence is taken in my wording.

Best regards
Jim

I like them all but the wee hopper and Bibio really stand out, cracking stuff!

Great looking wee fleas. One less turn of partridge for me on my spiders though.

Thanks for the feedback guy's, I'll try less hackle on the siders, I'm still struggling a bit with the proportions and overdressing some of my flies.

No offence is taken Jim, as for the buzzer with the marabou tail to tell you the truth I've never fished it, some of the tyings are just me trying different materials to see how I manage, I think the large claret n red wet fly would scare the fish out of the water

Awesome again Craig!! Really like the hoppers. Personal preference for me with dries is to trim the hackle underneath so that they sit down in the surface film.

Like them all Craig, but the spider tops it for me.
