This is my first time posting here and wanted to share my latest fly and am looking for any criticism's that would help me improve my tying.

Thanks!

Nicely done,  My only notes would be to try and get the tail and topping to meet at the middle line of wing feather to improve the flow and maybe shorten the tag,  I think it would have looked better if you tied the tail in where there is a dip in the underside of the tag.  That said, this is tied better than most of my offering of late, great job.

Welcome to the forum. Very nice work I am impressed with the head there is a lot of material in the wing for such a small head profile.  Please keep posting your tying

I think that is a very good looking fly.

Thanks! I really appreciate the input! I knew that the toppings weren't looking correct with the space between them and the wing....next time. I pre assembled the wing Carrie Stevens streamer style before tying it on which cuts down on a lot of material at the head.

I’m no expert, but maybe try experimenting with different materials or colors next time

I would say this is accurate to the description for this fly, it also calls for the Jay and JC to be mirrored on the top of the shank but the materials are correct
