I really really like that:cool::cool:

Very nice fly. Will it make an apperance on streamers 365?

Thanks guys. Yes, Texfly, it will be going to Streamers 365. I am going to try to make a better one first though.

Very nice streamer Kelkay.
I don't recognize the cheek feather (or shoulder) not sure what you all call it there lol. I would like to tie some, and try it around here.

Thanks
Mark

Here you go. I would definitely coat the tinsel with nail polish. (if you are gonna fish them) You may even want to cover the floss too. I intentionally put the floss up in the front of the fly, to help prevent fish teeth from ripping it.

Thank you! Here is one I tyed yesterday. This one is a little more showy, meant for display. I was just trying different looks. This one is not for fishing though.
