I had several hooks on the table and the one I picked for the photo was not the one I was going to use for the fly. Some how they were mixed up and the streamer got tied on a smaller hook.<br />So I guess "Bill" got the answer right first.<br />Bill shoot me an email and I'll get you the "oh no" streamer.Brk Trthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677442640158367831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-66341812333002200852013-11-10T07:16:58.944-05:002013-11-10T07:16:58.944-05:00My comment is along the lines of flyfisher, I thin...My comment is along the lines of flyfisher, I think you meant to have the darker color wing applied first and then the lighter color so that the dark wing feather adds the right underneath coloring to the orange wing feather.

They aren't that discerning, are they? It doesn't appear to have the hackle wings correctly sized to match, and, the collar feathers look a little askew, too. I am not about to let you judge my flies if you have such an eye for detail, though. Still a very nice tie.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15787242134608887555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-44217423370715235442013-11-09T11:21:41.726-05:002013-11-09T11:21:41.726-05:00I'm not good enough at this tying streamer thi...I'm not good enough at this tying streamer thing.
