    After a few days reflection, I really like that first (black) fly.

    The second is the 'Red Tag', regarded by John Roberts as the best grayling fly in the UK.
    It can be tied with hen or cock hackle, and fished wet or dry.
    There is a group of flies all the same but with different coloured tags,
    thus, Red, White, Green.. etc Tag.
    The version using orange or yellow is called 'Treacle Parkin',
    there is also a 'Badger Red Tag'.
    These are all used for trout/grayling.

    The third needs little comment, except, very nicely tied.
