Two More Gurglers Fresh From The Production Line

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:

    Nice! 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!

    Those 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.
