Hopefully ironed out a few previously perpetrated wrinkles with this tie, although omitted the JC and crest over the wing; happier (not 100%) with the floss, even though partially obscured by the purple veilings.



Hope you like

This one looks much better to my eyes. love the purple choice for veilings here!!! tag and tip looks much cleaner and the tail is in proportion.

Big improvement!

One thing i notice is maybe a bit more fibres for the wing, and if so, go a bit darker with the added fibres. I don't think this is necessary for fishing, more for aesthetics.

Love this one though, good work improving on certain details

Mike, this is an awesome bug and tie...would surely turn the head of a summer-run steelhead. Would you share the materials list with us?
