Sparkle PMD

Hi,

This is my Sparkle PMD Dun "a la Craig Mathews' design". I am using a new dubbing material (for me).

What do you think?

Very nice. Perfect proportions from what I can tell. the colors are great too.

 

And of course there is those damn beutiful jaws again. I just can't stop starring

Very nice. What kind of dubbing is that? It has a nice sparkle to it.

I tied some of those last week. They were a little challenging for me. Great ties buddy!

It looks great!

 

If fish get picky try trimming 1/2 to 2/3 the tail material. For real picky fish do a CDC wing. You can mix a little Para Post material between layers of CDC for a more durable fly.

 

Good Pic as well

Thanks for the advice. May try that. One thing, it is a trailing shuck.

Looks good. I echo what Baiter said: a trailing shuck made out of Antron like yours should be sparse -- at least half or less of what you have there.

+3 for cutting down on some of the shuck. You only need about 5-6 strands. Otherwise it looks great. You've got a nice taper to the body and the wing looks neatly tied.
