Allmost forgot, the original was tied sans eyes, but I wouldn`t tie a fly without eyes. For these I use tape eyes to keep the finished fly slim, when I move up in size I go with the domed eyes. Tie in a few sizes too, in the early season the silversides are small, 2 to 3 inches but by the time the FA`s show the silversides dumping out of the breachways are 5 to 6 inches.
