Here are two more color combos I have been working on. First up is an all black number. Not a bad looking guy. I used some new chenille which has a green sheen to it. Kind of reminds me of a beetle or something along those lines. I went with the standard calf tail for the tail as well. No need to fix it if it isn't broken right? I do love using calf tail. I think on both flies the tail needs to be longer. Maybe the legs as well. The second fly is merely a bigger version of one we do in size 10. I really wasn't wild about the chartreuse colored legs I had. They almost looked yellow. So I decided to go with all orange. Again, I need to extend the tail some and the legs or so I think. Let me know what you all think please. Here they are:
I like these colors a lot. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteNice! Longer tails? Yes sir! At least twice as long... maybe match the length of the body with a just bit more bulk. They do look tasty though!
ReplyDeleteThose look great. I appreciate the design. Looks like a relatively quick tie, and some similar popper qualities, without the cork shaping and painting. Nice job.
