Havard,

 

That is another beauty!! What feather is that palmered behind the head? Rhea? Whatever it it, it appears spectacularly in that site. Very good colors, and you ain't bad at photography either! :)

Had to practice some on salmon wing construction yesterday (been a while since last), it turned out very blue, but it was more of a technical task. 5-6 layers of fox and 3 hackles

Some different pike flys and craft fur bait fish. The pike flys are both tyed on 6/0 hooks while the craft fur flys are on size 2 streamer hooks. Hope you like

 

I have been meaning to do this but forgot. I wanted to tell you that you have done a tremendous job with these flies, beautifully done. I am impressed with your consistency, quality of tying, and the ability and beauty with which you have done them. I really enjoyed seeng them.

 

What are the measurements on them, length, depth of body? Down here, Texas, they would be great in larger sizes for big bass, alligator gar, and saltwater species on the Texas Gulf Coast.

Thanks. The craft fur flys are 6" long and 1" depth. They are rather easy to tye and as you can see they produce some pretty cool bait fish.

Those are some pretty amazing deer hair flys The Cream and Stmflies!! Im still at aww how you can tye such flys. The mixing of the colors is amazing. Ive been tying some dahlberg divers for pike recently and am hoping to post some up here soon. Although they are not nearly as good as your guys. Great work!
