Here is an order of flies I just got done with. Thought some of you that fly fish may enjoy seeing these. So what do you think?

VERY nice.
I especially like the poppers. Don't fish those kinds of flies ( except buggers, of course ) up here in the Intermountain West, so it is a real treat to get to see what a lot of the other folks are talking about, assuming we all know what they mean !!
Thanks.
John
The fish are always right.
Very Nice Skip.

Hi Skip,
I believe those flies should provide you with a good assortment of fish. I can't, of course, give you a full critic from just a picture. I will require half a dozen of each pattern and each color in order to conduct a complete evaluation. 8T
Sweet! You do excellent work. How are you at baking bread?

Nice ties! Skip, what do you use for hackle on your buggers? 3 of those look like marabou hackle?

FishnDave, I used several different ones because of what I had to work with by color. I used a hackle off a cape for at lease one and I used saddle hackle for some and one I used a long neck hackle that looked more like a saddle hackle. Actually I think when I bought that bag of hackle they probably put the wrong feathers in it, because I have another bag with neck hackle it that color that is about 1/2 the length of that batch. So no marabou except for the tails.

kelkay, I use drill bits for making round dots and eyes. I keep an assortment of bits that have a flat end (not all drill bits have a flat end) of several sizes just for painting them.
