Very nice.
I like the lite brite dubbing as a means of suggesting eclosion & a built-in sight bob always helps!

Nice fly mate,
Really like the Phesant tail over the pearl.
I would probally reduce the foam and lightbrite slightly.
Love the sbs keep posting mate.

As a beginner at fly tying, could I ask you why you have put the pheasant tail over the tinsel rather than the other way around?

I was having some fun with a CDC pheasant tail the day. This one looks good. I wonder if a wire rib would spoil it? It just looks prone to being easily damaged by teeth. Very nice looking fly.

A way round that issue is to coat the pearl body all over and all around with GOOD and NEW ( so it doesn't cloud ) superglue , the stuff you can apply with a brush . Then wrap your PT fibres and tie off and allow to dry before finishing the fly .

Nice SBS

I thought that this would give a better impression of segmentation and depth to the body of the fly.
