Tooty I don't know about the imagination part you need a mind for that but I am more than willing to experiment with many failures I might add. What I do make I try to make good and when I say good I mean something pleasing to the eye that catches fish and above all holds up under many a caught fish.

One thing you got over most tiers Dick is a vivid imagination !!!!!! Willingness to experiment and the time to put it all together buddy...... good job.

Jim you could be right about the way they swim. Didn't have a way to really check them but in a jar they swam at a 45 to 60 degree angle with the blade remaining on the bottom. Same holds true with the plain flies without the blades.

Thanks Tooty just another step in a fly tiers evolution hoping one day I can be half as good as my mentors.

Thanks Mark I'm sure your right hard telling what then gills want when the feed is on.
