Thanks all. Its an easy tie the hardest part is finding Ostrich herl wide enough. Put a link below that I used to tie the fly. I'm sure it's a #10 hook Bruce.

Nice. What size hook do you use for them?

Thanks Tin Man and John. Still not quit a complete set. Still looking for some brown and Olive feathers don't seem to be a popular color in ostrich herls. I can find them but with a hefty price tag the feathers have to be wide because of the tail on the fly is also part of the herl..

Thanks Carl. They are a quick tie with the main body and tail are ostrich herl strands.
