Your technique in tying this fly and your photography skills are both superior. I am envious of both. Very well done sir.

Re: Lemonsuckle
Very nice.
Your coming along in leaps and bounds, best representation from a Kiwi tier within the last month- hands down.
Liking the colours, proportions and body taper. Tied on a barbed hook, I would add it to the arsenal.

Re: Lemonsuckle
Thank you for the kind comments.
We were out looking at tying lamps yesterday that might also be useful for photos.
Perphaps I'll stick with sunlight Wayne
Barbless v barbed??
Nope - not going there!

Re: Lemonsuckle
This is a nice fly, I'm curious about the hook though. What led you to choose a dark hook? Color contrast?
Re: Lemonsuckle
I think Smuggler, that rather than any well laid out plan,
I just like them
What would be your choice of hook for a similar fly?
