its fine it will catch fish thats what counts.alter the patten and thats how new flies are born and good ones too.im doing alot of smaller flies than i use to now as next season im trying more fishing when the weather is still. just to see if it catches better as big flies may often be seen, as wrong and dangerous to the fish.

Thanks for the kind comments. Pinched the muddler head from Urban Angler, cheeks from Stan. #14 because I have no 12s left. I want the fly to behave like an emerger, hence the head and wing.

Not bad at all

I cant see the cheeks its maybe my eyes , also dont know if it needs the hackle as the scrubbed up sf mix should do the trick.

Never tied or fished these. May be the next project, nice fly.
