Thankx Bill.....heads are VERY important to me, and i'm a real stickler about them.........to me they are everything.......now. This fly had a much better (smaller), head originally........but something happened to it overnight while it was drying, and it took on a weird shape on the bottom where the dark green color is..........and i was PISSED. So i had to take my thumb nail and reshape it a bit and then give it two more coats to get even half way decent.....as it is now, it's much to big. i fret over heads like crazy........and i spend a lot of time trying very hard to get every one the best it can be..........you win some, you loose some...........but for me, there is nothing more important than heads. In the end, i very happy with maybe 20%......and it just goes downhill from there........

Heads are everything.....and very fun when you get 'em, right. And not every head is the same......they have to "go" with whatever particular fly they are a part of..........anyway, thankx again. i have to get a third coat on one right now. i just finished a new fly, that took most of the night.
It's on a white Lucas Noble D XXL 9/0 with a brown, tan, & white bead, and a trailer hook on the trailer hook. This fly came out fairly wacked.....lot of problems.......but that's what fly tying is.....problem solving. i tried something different, and succeded to a degree.....very good experience. Some day i'll actually be happy with the results of tying on a $25 hook..........
