I think that if you look carefully at the fly on the right . . . you might have been able to get another turn of hackle in?

Bet they float like battleships and I'd certainly use them on our faster stretches of water with a nymph beneath!

Now there Klinks. How many feathers and turns of hackle are there on these Klinks Craigie? I presume you using at least 2 hackles to get in the amount of hackles you have. Also what's the cape you are using?
