Hello friends

i don0t tie with BM very often, for one it is a bit hard to get around here and on the other side i feel more confident tying with other materials, but to honor the truth i live how these looks.

All of them have their bodies made of wool (well, the terracotta one is a strand from a tapestry fabric hehe) and the hackle is some schlappen i had fun burning. All hooks are #4. The tails are simple ringneck pheasant feathers, nothing fancy on these ones.

Hope you like them and i hope to improve my tying on this style someday.

First one, with some copper-brownish wool


From above


And from bellow (this is how i love a bug to look like)


This one is qith a mix of brown+olive wool + some superfine golden strand, all spun together


I like this angle:


And the last one, the terracotta monster with the strand from some tapestry fabric (don't ask for many details, i'm still running away from my mother)

I was reaching the tip of the feathers here, i don't like much how the tip of the wing fibers tend to separate, but i guess there is nothing i can do when the feather is like that.

I hope they will fish in april :)

Yes, yes, i will clean that rust off the vise before i post the next fly :chuckle:

Cheers
Rob

Thanks everyone for the comments :)

Im glad i' not the only one who like the view from bellow :)

Uhm.......... what can i say? Lunch was ready and mom was starting to raise her voice so i had to rush the last fly, it's incredible all the time one can gain by saving one tirn of hackle :p :razz:

Still looking where did the phosphoric acid to clean up that rust, but maybe i will just let it get a bit more so Moe can have an idea of how sick my mind can be
