Those look great!!! What do you mean "tied tips down"

left side of feather for far wing hitch, the opposite of what most of us modern tiers do...

kevin, as always there is just a comforting fishy feel to all your work. The toucan is just stunning, thats a feather thats been on my list for a while. awesome, awesome work!

a Stand-out!

These are all very nice flies. Both lots of classic feather binding all 'round.

Even if this one may have been called a mistake by now :

- all I will "say" is that you're on-to something here.

Excellent work.Although i love a fly with a gut eye, I'm a sucker for a well tied one with a return eye!!
