Lovely as usual, Hans. Here's my (left handed) version:

I believe the LH version would prove superior on streams south of the Equator; Coroilis Force and all that. Both flies look to be light on their respective feet; nicely done guys.

Hans,

Had to give it a go too. I wonder why brown wasn't/isn't mixed for the tail? Have you seen or tried the Deleware Wulff?

Hi Hans,

Nice to see your name on a post. Nice flies all.

Thanks again for the post Hans.

Regards,

Beautiful flies everybody.I have to say that I would have broken the various hackles and have the whole thing unwind about five times during that sequence.I definitely will try the reverse hackling technique this weekend.
