Looks very good! What spey hackle made from?

 

[fish0n4evr]

Looks like right out of the book. Excellent!

 

[BCBound]

Thanks guys.

The rear hackle is just a streamer rooster neck and the front one is a blue eared pheasant dyed black.

everything about it seems too long and i still like it lots. super fishy tie :Eyecrazy: but whats up with the upside down JC?

 

[BCBound]

Thanks everyone.

Matt, I opted to go for a longer hackle in back section to make it a bit more fishy. Not sure if it actually is or not but it makes me feel more confident.

The "droopy" JC is more of a Dee trait although admittedly this is excessively exaggerated. I was copying the photo from John Shewey's book.

Here's hoping she works

 

[BCBound]

Uhhhhhhhh. I think I get it now Matt. Curving the wrong way. Doh!

 

[kevin200100]

Sorry but the jc is proper way

 

[MZilliox]

Uhhhhhhhh. I think I get it now Matt. Curving the wrong way. Doh!

haha, just having fun with you, as thats the only difference from the pic in the Shewey book, haha.

Kevin, by now you guys should know I don't care much about right and wrong ways of doing things, i just do whatever i want... I was just referencing the book, hehe.

All in good fun :razz:

 

[BCBound]
