Great flies and I bet the fish think so as well.

Wow, those are especially nice. I've tied with some magpie tail herls and I can appreciate the quality of those. These are both very nice combinations of materials. I think I'm partial to the slenderness of the second pic, but the mass of that first one is going to be a great fly as well.
Thanks for posting these.

Hank,
good idea! Actually, I've some red&green, but... There are some serious snowing here at the time, so light is not so good for taking a picture. What about hackle colour for
The Christmas wingless wet? ...any suggestions?

kacbo, Howdy;
Just a quick thought, anything with green an white striping, like a Christmas tree with snow or white garlnad on it... then add in your red & green twords the bend...
just sayin' ...
