firedad 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2012 That's a good looking pattern. Your proportions could be easily fixed the abdomen is the right size so just tie it a little closer to the eye and that will lengthen the thorax and you thread head would be smaller.

TitanFlies 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2012 Scooch everything up just a but; you're proportions are a bit off. You can accomplish this by not leaving as much room for the heam, making a longer abdomen, a shorter and fatter thorax, and smaller head. Looks good though! No reason to be disappointed with it.
