I think slowly I'm getting there. Not perfect but they make excellent dropper under a dry fly. What do you think? Tightlines Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fruitrollup 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2024 Nice tie. If you are interested in critique, consider keeping the rib raps the same at 6 or 5 turns, whatever, just be consistent. Otherwise, looks good to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you Honestly I didn't even think about that when I was tying them. I will be more consistent in the future. Tightlines Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
