Default First time with hen

Was lucky enough to get my hands on some hen feathers ( cheers , you know who you are ) anyway I have not used it before , only the odd time for a head hackle . I did this just to get used to using the stuff and it turned out to be a blob !!!! But a blob using natural materials atleast !!

That's a nice fly Danny, Good colour combination. There will be plenty of movement in that fly.
