nice tyings, do you find any benefit in using the faceted beads as opposed to the conventional beads? cheers jon.

Nice proportions, excellent tying. I like the hotspot on the first too

Is the last designed to be fished as an emerger in the surface?

Cheers,

I don't know, haven't tried them yet. If I'm honest, I had no idea they were faceted until they arrived, and then it was too late. Not that I feel it matters much, they're just there to get the flies down.

I like them very much, pretty much identical to the stuff i use. The only exception being the last one, whats that about?

It was my failed attempt at scratches grizzle mink Essentials - Grizzle Mink
Just I clipped the hackle underneath, which I feel improves the fly sometimes. I like to think it would work.
