How long is it taking you to knock these out now? You're getting consistently brilliant on them. If I have everything in front of me: about 1 hour for these smaller ones, I don't rush it. Doing many in one sitting helps

A couple of Green Highlanders on a #1 Partridge M2 hook, still a long way to go before the season starts.....

Three classics ready this morning: Jock Scott, Green Highlander and Black Doctor, all tied on Partridge M2 #2/0

Looking good: the body work is getting better and the ribs are nice and even! A few tips: flatten out the silk you are using - look at the tag, it has some bumps. If possible: use smaller tinsel for the tag, makes the fly look much better. Try a shorter wing, that will help out with the overall impression of the pattern, and will help with the topping flowing over the wing.

That is a deadly shrimp Kimo!

Another Sunturn Flare, this time on a Flemming No.4 hook

Thanks all!

Not fully gutted this one, but I'll sure tie up some of this to fish with next year!

The 5th edition of my sunturn tradition, a freestyle fly inspired by good music, a good beer and the winter solstice: http://flyfisher.org/2018/12/sunturn-flare/

Miss Elinor on a Mustad 3582C #4

BOOM! Thanks!

Thanks all! Appreciate the nice words

Here is a rather large Floodtide on a #8/0 iron. Had to do a couple of adjustments to get the material to fit on this large hooks, but the end result was not bad
