Hey thanks for all the helpful tips. Yeah I guess for me, I like the solid white color that I can get from bucktails because most of the waters I fish aren't too clear.

Pere, I will try that method, sounds very promising!

Joe, Haven't thought about doing that. I guess in theory it would look good, but I wonder would the fly be to bulky to cast? I guess only one way to find out!

Philly, those look like awesome looking flies, but if you put it in the water, I think those fibers might go transcluscent, and thats what I guess, I'm trying to avoid. But overall great looking flies!

Micro, I guess I've never been given the chance to look at baitfish underwater. I'll look for some pix's
