Must have been at the vice today
The 1st one is my favourite though as I prefer the leg length.

Nice flies Fishfinger, I would fish with any of those knowing that if there was a fish in the vicinity it would probably have a go. Have been fishing this one for a couple of years now in all the usual colours but with a fluorescent butt, also because my local waters, Ladybower and Carsington, are 'upland' and enjoy 'frisky' breezes all season I tend to give them a bit more more foam.

I also intend to add some legs to this little emerger for next season, it has a dubbed deer hair thorax so has more than a little buoyancy, any opinions ?
