Here is a pair of featherwing streamers I recently tied, they're pretty simple but looked kinda nice. I hope you enjoy them, but I'll appreciate any and all criticism :)

 

Thank you,

Carson LeBoeuf

Here are a bunch I recently tied up. The first three are me screwing around with some new materials and the last are some quill bodies in size 22 to mimic a particularly tough hatch of bow's I experienced today. I pulled one of the bow's off of the water as it emerged and was surprised to watch it go from a reddish white to its common olive body. I'm hoping this may do the trick.
