the fly will ride with the hook point up the way you have it tied which is good, just flip the colors
try yellow and black great color for trout

Warren,
I'll take a copy of the revision on the Delaware ( for smallmouth) here in PA. I like the narrower red band.

Warren,
Can't you toss some of them in the sink with water in it to test how it will float?
Hook up, hook down, sideways, eye down, sink?

They kind of look like thunder creeks. Thunder creeks take fish and so will your fly.I was just playing around with an idea I had and ended up with this fly. The hook is a Mustad 94831 in size 8 and where the eyes are there is a 7/64" or 2.8mm tungsten bead. I painted the eyes on with fabric paint using yellow and then black for the center and then put 3 coats of Sally Hanson over it. Hopefully, I will get a chance to see if the fish like it and how it will respond in the water. I need your professional opinion on what you think, good or bad, before I tie up any more. Thanks in advance...

coughlin,
I just may send you one to try out, but, it will be after I have had a chance to see how it reacts in the water here first. I may have to do some fine tuning on it. I will get back to you on this.
Sonny,
I already know that it will sink since the head has a tungsten bead in it and I want to test it in the rivers here. Water in a sink or glass is not moving like the river currents do and that is where I need to see how it will work plus a fly with tippett and fly line attached to it will react differently than one in a sink or glass. It does look like a Thunder Creek but the Thunder Creek has no weight incorporated into it like this does.
Hopefully, tomorrow I will get to the river and get a lot of answers to questions on this fly.
Thanks everyone,
Warren
Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.
Now were talkin' ! That dog will hunt.
Thanks, flymaker2, your comments are appreciated. Hopefully, tomorrow, we will see how it reacts to river currents and see if we can get some feedback from a fish!

Hi WarrenP,
I really like the colour combination. I also thought the red section extended a wee bit too far and much prefer the proportions in the later one. I was thinking a few strands of peacock sword added as a topping to the first one would look really nice, a similar suggestion was offered earlier in the thread as well. That being said, I suspect you will catch fish with the original design, and it is always worth giving it a go as data trumps theory every time!
