The hackle looks fine to me...i know for sure that thing will hook fish. Almost looks too good to get wet...lol

That last ones really nice cc. Post the recipe for it and ill give it a shot.Thats going to swim hook down ihasfish. Thats pretty simalar to a lady caroline with some colour changes. What you using for the wing cc? Really like how you have the wing proportioned and laying right down to the hook. I guess its all in the strokin....to get those barbels down?

Here is a few Ive done recently, don't have enough experience with classic flys but have attemped a few. BTW, the float rod is my backup plan CC....LOL

No really, though...Im honestly going to work the spey rod this year. I have to find a way to fish away from my roe bag friends...that's the hard part !!!

Nice ties CC, I will post a few I have been working on need some pics...On a secondary note, the float rods going to be the secondary choice this year. Been busy gearing up for swinging. Picked up a nice little 2 seat fishcat13 for drifting, got my wife fitted yesterday with some simms headwaters and patigonia ultra lights...so shes all set. She actually is doing well with the switch rod. Attended a few tying sessions with Joe Penich, and Rob and Tama Clarke...so Im geared to get the swing mastered. Rick tells me Im casting great and I have learned to mend and shoot line...so its all coming together. Now to hook my first steelie on the spey rod !!! I,ll post up a few pics soon as I get some.

Those are some great looking flys...very nice work and detail.
