    Default bored today,

    was playing around at the vice today and came up with this. what do you think, a little large on the head and maybe too short on the wing, one of my first attempts at this style. thanks for any input or advice,
    Brian

    Default Not bad

    Looking pretty good.
    The wing is a tad short.
    Should go to the bend of the hook.
    I have found that best thing to do is if a part of the fly doesn't
    please me, is to back up and redo it until I am happy.

    With the fly you posted, you could unwrap the head, take off the wing,
    reattach the thread and do it up so you are happy.

    I have done just that lots in my tying career.

    Keep at er'

    The flies are only going to get better.
    Your fies will soon be sought after in the swaps
