Thanks Tim.

Ray, followed your overnight wetting down and yes, they do look more orderly.
Here are the three a bit better posed.







And the three of them wet

I am a huge fan of Jack Gartside as well. Here is one of those Soft Hackle flies in Electric Chicken. This was a while back when I tied these. The bass do like these! Jeff, your flies were wonderful. Thanks for showing them off. I believe I used drop shot hooks for my SH flies like this.

Nice fly Kelly. These flies also make a great soft hackle tube fly!

Pretty fly. I don't know much about tube flies. I know a lot of people are into it. Thanks for sharing.

Kelly - tubes make some very nice streamers. I think you'd like them.

Great flies guys (includes Kelly).

This is a wonderful fly. But ya know, I make the biggest mess with marabou. It goes all over, and don't even think about having a fan on in the room where you are tying. Just saying..... LOL.
