Thanks, Mike. Like most tying, I have found that staggered hackles need to be done to the correct proportions so it is pleasing to the eye. No formula needed, just sliding them back and forth until they tell me it's right. This is why I like the wing things, as I can do all three at once without tying them down, moving them back and forth until I am pleased with the overall look.
Mark,
Stick with it- we were all newbies at one time. There's no pressure here, so just relax and enjoy the learning experience- a little bit at a time. That teaches your mind to enjoy the learning experiences of all tying rather than it being intimidating. There's little enjoyment here by taking things too seriously.
Thanks, man. Whiting puts out some very cool stuff.
Barry your Funky Sunrise is so beautiful. Excellent job.
Its the first time I have seen these Fire Tiger dyed hackles. What an amazing look the create to that wing
Barry,
Beautiful fly. Those colors all work together.
Well done
Thank you for this great site. Please keep fly tying videos coming.
Stunning fly! I don't recall seeing this pattern before. It is a real winner for me!
What an absolutely beautiful streamer pattern. Ted never ceases to amaze me with his choice of flies for presentations such as this and the top shelf quality of his craft.
The married sections make this fly stand out that much extra to me. Very well tied
It's one I've never attempted, but really quite stunning to look at. Ted ties some amazing streamers.
Just wait until you see the rest of his contribution. He made some really wonderful selections.
It isn't one you'll see often. you should check out some of Jennings other flies as well.
This is without a doubt, the finest example I have ever seen of the Lord Iris. Pure ART!
Would love to join this site and share my featherwings with all of you. Petr
Hey Petr. Thanks for the interest in the project. Unfortunately we are full. Keep posted on the site as we may have another project in the future.
Bob, your Black Ghost looks very cool and attractive, love it. Don and Bob, your BGs look very good to me...
Thank you Gary, I appreciate your kind comments. I have started a new folder on my computer to hold lots of streamers!!! :)
Thank you so much Avril. Just like your recent variation, isn't it wonderful what you can do when tying streamers? I look forward to your streamers
