I hit the vice tonight trying to perfect a certain pattern.
I just don't have it down yet but these still pass for now.

Here's what these flies look like just after being tied and when they are wet down to check the profiles.

I like the profile of this fly. And when in the water the body pulsates when striped then let settle.

those are killer, lots of profile with out added mass, agree they should pulse something wicked

Etch

Friday night's tying lasted into Tuesday days tying. Here's the new one.
I'm still having a tough time getting the vertical height on the hackles at the head of the fly.
