Sorry, I meant you "should be proud" assuming you are.

I kinda thought it sucked. Still gonna display it because it was a pain and I spent way to much time on it

Like I said, it's not perfect but I think it's very nice. Save it, tie more and compare them. When you think you've excelled enough, fish with this one. I think it would be really cool to see a picture of it in the corner of a freshly caught trouts mouth.

Very nice, I am sure the pike will love it. Are the stripes drawn free hand with a sharpie, or do you use some sort of stencil?

Free hand.   I use permanent markers to color all my poppers, sliders and crease flies.  Lines are either with Sharpie or the the fine point of the permanent marker.

As always, very nice ties all around.  especially those wet caddis pupa @Old Hat, great looking hooks also.  

Thank you.  I am a bit old school and still partial to bronze hooks. I just started using the contemporary barbless hooks this year.  These are Firehole hooks.  I like them.
