Thanks for the feedback, and the kindly notes. After seeing the kind of artworks the likes of FlyGodess has created and posted - I was hesitant to embarass myself with a rookie's attempt, and kinda unguided - just grabbing feathers.
Good tips. I have found a lot of helpful angling vids on Youtube - just hadn't got into fly-tying threads (punny) - so I'll point my search engine...
So - sometimes shorter is better you're saying? That leach is rather long, by design - and I was actually thinking of adding a stinger for good measure.
I'll keep experimenting for sure. Beats getting real chores done anyway!
Toadly: Saw your query on Mantua conditions. Hope you get a report, ideally a positive one. It has chilled pretty hard - should be clearing up the pea soup I'd hope. I'll pm ya - but was wondering what kind of time you're thinking on going. Thursday might work.
