Murray, good on you! Fine looking flies. The mole might be a little heavy handed in one..... but who say's? It might just be exactly what your local fish are looking for.
You don't know if you and the Starling will become best of friends? I like it more than Snipe which (I feel) breaks just for the heck of it!
You will get the hang of it the more you use it- I am liking the results thus far.
The lighter thread is good isn't it? A lot easier to get finer bodies and heads, less bulk and finer results. If I could find more of the thread I use most of (bought on sale and unbranded) I would grab all I could with both hands before supplies run low.
The only problem I have with it is heading back to some of the bulkier threads and not having enough room to finish off without some bohemith big head being formed!
Keep going and keep us informed with the results..... your doing well.
