If I tied these correctly (maybe not), but used black thread, black ostrich herl body and a light starling hackle.

Me too. I wanted to head straight to my tying vice, after seeing these.

Fin-tastic!

Outstanding. Might I inquire as to the hook size?

Ron

I believe they were size 16 hooks, a Daiichi hook with a wide gape. I forget the Daiichi number.

joaniebo, Howdy;

Absolutely lovely flies.
Tasty lookin' wee critters they are. Almost want to chomp on one myself.
