Clear nail polish on the heads. Haven't figured out the whip
finisher, yet.

Thanks, Tony!
I wouldn't call them art, but I like em.
They turned out well enough that they have promise, anyway.

My man, Vince!
Thanks for the encouraging words.
I need a few supplies now. The right thread, some hooks, chenille, rubber for legs.....
I'm gonna start out concentrating on "brim bugs," and go from there.
I still have to figure out that infernal whip finisher!

Heck those will work just fine! When I first started tying someone on here said "they don't have to be perfect to catch fish." I thought about that for quite a while, then it came to me, in nature bugs are not all perfect. I described my first fly as looking like a mad wet cat, and guess what..... I caught gills on it!
