Pretty good looking.

To make it better: 1) don't allow the topping to be longer than the tail. It is OK for the tail to be longer than the topping, but not the other way around. When the topping is longer than the tail, it unballances the fly. 2) Have the GP tippet underwing sit lower to the body. Do this by either a) stripping fibers from the feather and tying them in as a bunch, or b) by bending the tippet stem into a "Z" shape so that it lies nearly on top of the body, and also stripping about 1/4th of the fibers from the bottom of the tippet next to the tie-in spot.

Schlappen yes - it's so purple, but my camera 'says' - "it's BLUE"!!!

Gotta sort out the head bulk too -

many thanks for the kind and helpful comments - makes it all worthwhile to advance one's skillset! :cool:
