    jeliask,

    The previous posts all offer some great advice. I wouldnt be terribly concerned if an EHC isnt perfect. I catch lots of fish on chewed up EHC, so much so they barely resemble the fly. LOL then again, my caddis arent all that great, but I do catch fish so its all good for me

    Keep working at it and you will find your flies will improve.
    Take care and cya around,

    Mark

    I'm not an expert on Elk Hairs, but that looks like a nice one. One thing I would do is to make it thicker. It looks a little thin, needs some bulk.
    Now you're into it, you won't be able to stop.

    Sorry, Jeliask, but a fly that nice will never work here in Nebraska. Have you tried something in yellow that looks more like a kernel of corn?

    (Keep up the good work, guy!)
