Changed it up a bit. It was hard to know the proportions from the vid. I'm ready, let me have it. I can take it. ...(duck)

:help:

 

 

Never saw that...good job horseshoes.Kinda makes me remeber when paul in a river runs through it said close mouth cal,calvin coulage,Had a fly the size of chicken,thinking if it wouldn't catch a fish,it sure would scare one to death :j_k :j_k:

iso... I worked hard to make that scary. :j_k: It looks the same size as the vid. I put it on a size 4 carp or maybe it was a 6? He said it was for the biggies. tarpon etc. But I want to entice a few stripers or sea trout my way. Nope..flies have not arrived. Should be anyday now. hopefully. I am an optimist.

Here's a streamer pattern from my tying desk this morning.... any feedback?

Great streamer. That would look great in our rivers. A few strands of flash and I know the stream this spring. Did you already post the pattern?

I have not yet, but will shortly when I get home from work... pretty basic once you see it.
