Quill crunchers

[123jc]

A couple of quill crunchers, the quill looks a bit uneven, I think I'll try utc thread on the next one as that's what I use on my quill buzzers and don't seem to get the same problem. All comments and suggestions welcome.

Crackers, only thing I could mention is, hen for the hackle, cock for the tail.

Cheers brannan, the second fly is hen/cock, I didn't have a hen hackle to match the first fly.

I agree with you Nick, the heads to big on the first one, I'm still working on my proportions, some are OK but on others I either don't leave enough room for the hackle or like the first fly leave to much room.

I'll second that. The second one is a belter, the first aint quite right, cock hackle and head size.
