First attempt at tying a skating/chugging style fly, still working out the kinks. Would greatly appreciate any feedback/tips in tying these. Trying to get a more leggy profile with the schlappen instead of hackle, too long though? Also, any recommendations on how to pattern/profile the foam when cutting?
Hook: Tiemco 7989 size 4
