Nice job !!
How about a tying recipe ?
Kind of fibers ?
Which eyes ?

[saltydog]

Arzic Oliver, no problem,

1. your favorite big hook, or----> 4/0 eagle claw 254ss oshaughnessy hook will give you a 8"fly
2. light blue NEER HAIR (full lenth)
3. white NEER HAIR (full lenth)
4. flashabou


1.tie small amout of white an flashabou on the hook just in form the BEND this will be your lateral line, then a small amout of blue on TOP of that in the same place. this will start back body line.
2. move UP the hook THIS TIME YOU WILL TIE THE MATERIAL FACING THE HOOK EYE!!!!!!!!!! THEN TIE THE WHITE THE SAME WAY. now PULL it back to the TAIL of the fly. COMB it out,TRIM to SHAPE,an SIZE then place a nice EYE on. you can CHANGE the pattern w/ a MARKING PEN- DOTS- STRIPES or what ever your bait fish is.
you NOT NEED a 10wt to throw it, the only weight is the HOOK,
9wt will work great,

Thanks, I never tied a fly with the material facing the hook's eye, but that's a great Idea to give the fly some volume !
