Those look like they should be in a showcase!
Very nice!
The sport is so royal that there is neither gentle nor villein, if it knew of it and loved it well, who would not be more honoured for that reason by all who understand it.
Very nice. I really like your choice of colour combination. And, the wings are not too thick but sparse, so they will give great action. Very nice floss work too.

I myself, never cuaght anything on a blue fly but damn, don't that one look good!
It's.....Just....A.....Stick...!!
Beautiful ties. I love classic Bucktails.
Thanks, everyone! I'm glad people are enjoying seeing my ties. Dan J, blue, oddly enough, is a go-to color for me. A blue and white streamer is one of my favorite bass flies, and a blue glo-bug was my number 1 producer for Erie steelhead this fall, beating out more popular pinks, oranges, and cream.
Hi,
And one of my go-to flies is a spider tied with royal blue floss body with a starling hackle. I call it a "Dark Betty" as it's a darker version of what I call a "Betty Blue" (lighter sky blue body with snipe hackle: a pattern I was introduced to by Betty Hiner from FAOL). I think the Dark Betty is taken as a blue bottle.

I have a few of those on the magnetic strips at my tying bench! Never knew they had a name.
Here's 2 more I tied up during the game. Tried making the heads a bit neater. As always, PEACH:
Cold,
Do you ever fish the "Little J"?
