Thanks. It is the most effective Bream fly I have used.

Fantastic work! Thanks for posting

Could you post individual photos of some of them?

Working on winging and proportions. Wings are long. Tying wings forward then folding back at the end on the top one. The second is tied in with normal orientation. Learning a lot.

I keep making the wings too long.

Here is the body work

Tying in hand works a different part of your brain or something. I an trying it on some bigger flies. I started it by accident when I forgot my vise clamp while traveling.

Tied in hand, wings are too upright. The mallard wings conspire against me.
