Looking good. What's the greenish hackle you're using for the wets and the tails/hackle of the nymphs?

Ah! I figured blue jay was the traditional hackle but it just looked a bit different, so that explains it.

Aye,

Very christmasy too with all that red and green going on!

Nice flees for sure and I like the short bodies on the 'bachs. What are those hooks you are using? They look like trout versions of the salmon hook? I like a bit of a curve to my flies because I think that it looks more natural though I do not expect it matters since we have done so well for so long on straight shanks.

Andy
