There is no varnish over the quill (the fly looks neater this way), but I have spread a drop on the thread base before wrapping the quill, so there is some varnish underneath.

These little guys are for grayling fishing, and the grayling don't have sharp teeth.

It is a perrenial problem isn't it. Do I make the fly robust so I don't have to make too many or do I make them better and have to tie more. Unfortunately I am in the latter camp.
Great flies though.
