I strongly agree, I didn't tie a perfect fly as we are our own worse critics there is always something I look at and say I wish I had done that better or different. Thats what makes us better tiers or innovators of some else's pattern I always try to give credit to originators or at least my inspiration for a pattern

Looks fine, nicely tapered body and your eye is not crowded I would fish it

Flat Wing Gurgler

I like that fly, the more I look at it I want to add a few of that style to my boxes. Flat wings can be anything from a 9-3 style streamer, single feather, multiple feathers, thanks for the pattern.

Thanks CP. That one's about 5". I think I'll tie up a few more, but a bit shorter and with cheap Chinese saddle hackle. Let me know how you do with yours.
