No nothing about mays but have some pink partridge so stripped an old fly as i have no hooks and came up with this.

Probably useless but you never know.

Hook; size 10 b175 kam
Tail; cock pheasant tail
Body; claret seals fur
Body hackles pink/violet ( palmered together )
Rib; oval gold wire
Throat hackle; hot orange
Head hackle; pink french paartridge

Well they do say that PINK is the new black. Nice tying, you won,t know if it works until you try it but that's a while away yet unfortunately.

Seems to be making an impact the pink, i guess i should do a couple more just incase.

Nice fly g

Very nice indeed Geordie.

Let me know if you need them tested

Nice fly g bigtrout and nothing wrong with the colour, BUT

Just my opinion

The tail is to heavy and out of proportion, maybe a softer hackle feather would be better than the pheasant tail.

That said, it will catch fish.

Nice fly and I like the colours . Will be interesting to see how it does

Do you think the tail is too short, the pheasant tail seemed soft to me and i was thinking of using bristles from a paint brush.
New area for me so any pointers appreciated.
