Good fly, agresive colours. Ribbing with flat tinsel is difficult. Fibers are bending. Ribb body with flat tinsel and wing with nylon tippet material. Instead flat tinsel and nylon you can use wire or fine oval tinsel.

I really like the colors and might I suggest, when tying the wings in, use 4 to 6 feathers. Once you have lined up the tips then slightly wet the feathers, it makes it easier to handle them while palmering the ribbing forward. Nice job :headbang:
