robday 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2013 Here is a recently tied fly. Opinions/comments requested. I know that the head is too big, but what else needs improvement? Opinions much appreciated!!! Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
utyer 0 Report post Posted September 11, 2013 That should work just fine. You know about the head, so the other thing you can work on is the body. Make the abdomen a little thinner than the thorax area under the wing case. Can't see if you have any rib on that abdomen. You could thin this fly down a bit by carefullly pulling out just a tiny bit of the fur on the rear half of the body. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
