Pelhament 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2010 Those look really good, especially the shad. The profiles are great. If I had to make a suggestion it would be to use less material. The key to these flies is their sparseness and transparency. The best advice I have is grab a pinch of material that you think is appropriate and use half of that, or a third of that.

I agree Pelhament, I talked with a buddy and he suggested the same thing. With EP fibers you think you dont have enough but in reality its too much. Thanks for looking.
