nice looking tiger ghost

that butt wrap is tough to wrap

Thanks Norm, I cut a length then pull some of the threads out of it to reduce bulk seems to help me keep a flatter profile. never was happy with it off the spool, don't have a lot of it left anyway. Find myself wanting to use more of my older unreplaceable stock.

TSM, nice flies and welcome to the forum. How do you fish the red dandelion? do you find it effective ? how does it cast? Thanks for the post.

I haven't actually fished it yet. Just tied it yesterday - that was my first attempt at tying a fly in that style.

Getting bored so decided to change things up a bit. Tied up some "Glow Johns" - Copper Johns using glow in the dark thread.    
Can't wait to try these things out. Thought they came out pretty cool.
