I've been wanting to tie these for a while and finally had a free moment to do so....feel free to comment....I eliminated the Jungle Cock since I had a webbier hackle and felt it looked complete

Thumbs up
Far to heavily dressed at the front, this is the way I tie them and these are as Peter Whittinghams originals.

Gerry.....thanks for the input. I will try your suggestion the next time. I'm assuming heavier on the hackle in the rear will make it more prawn like....swimming/fleeing tail first and tucked?

Any thoughts on tying with out the jungle cock?
