Hi Stevie,
A nice collection of flies. That is another pattern that I have not seen over this way and should try some day.

cheers fortbhoy they are excellent.

so you are tying the very top of the marabou feather to create the wing? also, what material are you using for the bodies on flies 1 and 3?

not bad mate your wing is a bit long for my taste, i like it so the tips are just past the bend of the hook. have a few more goes at it

[bobblaikie]

nae bother mate. i even got a bit adventurous and added some cheeks. ill use your flies as something to aim for.

back to the vice i go.
