Mike,
Both of these are the most beautiful Speys that I have seen in a long time! Your tying skills are great! Are you giving clinics anytime soon?
Please keep us in mind (share with us!) on the next sixty or seventy patterns you tie!
Most impressed!

Elegant! That's a fitting word for both of those flies, finely crafted, flowing elements on a gracefully curved hook. Beautiful fish deserve a beautiful fly, you rang that bell with both flies.

The blue dun feather you have for the wing: what type of bird did that come from? It would work perfect for the SKUES style nymphs, in a bit of a smaller size. Rooster, or is it a hen neck?

The marabou spey uses a whiting streamer rooster cape. The other is a whiting 4b hen cape
