Martin, your fly reminds me most of the saltwater classic the Brooks Blonde
The simpler the outfit, the more skill it takes to manage it, and the more pleasure one gets in his achievements.

Essentially the deceiver uses the wing tied in at the bend of the hook to reduce the occurance of the wing wrapping around the hook. This is especfially prevalent with feather wings. Tied in a smaller sizes it can be used in freshwater as well as saltwater where it is more common.
I can think of few acts more selfish than refusing a vaccination.
Nice flies Dudley. Well, we'll see if it catches me a striped bass. I'll update as soon as I get a chance to hit the lake.
Thanks gents.
I believe I can fly fish
Martin,
That is a nice fly. Under the right circumstances it will catch stripers, largemouth bass, trout, plus a host of other fresh and saltwater species.

God Put Fly Fishing Here For You And Me! Take Advantage Man! Take Advantage!

A lot of materials are easier to handle when wet, especially flash materials and marabou.
I keep a wet sponge set on my tying desk to the right of the vise (I am right handed). The sponge sets on a lid from a cottage cheese container to keep any excess water from running away. I take material in my left hand and draw it between the sponge and a finger or two on the right hand to dampen it before tying in. Helps keep things under control.
I decided this was much better than using my mouth. I learned this watching a celebrity tyer doing demos at a sport show.
