Hans, I love the color variations. Each one has its own great character and the colors are vibrant and very enticing.

Hans, great choice of hook on these. Here in the US the kamasans are little harder to come by. I love them.

Hans - What method did you use on the underbody (first layer)? Did you stretch the material first to get it so thin? I like the way the light reflects off the hook and back through the body material. Nice hook choice (silver color works nicely for all of these flies). If you add a green one to the set you will have a nice Snipe rainbow.

Ray,

Keep thread at thorax. Just the plastic covering rest of hook - single flat layer to bend, then cord the ribbon for the rib back up to thorax.

Nice hook choice (silver color works nicely for all of these flies).

Must be the bright light on the fly - the hook is bronze, not silver.

If you add a green one to the set you will have a nice Snipe rainbow.

Uh.... there is a green one in the set

Oops. I missed the green one when I was scrolling down.

Hans,

Exceptionally fine ties. I like the sparseness and the angle of the hackle fibers. And there's almost no "head". That is exactly the mark I aim for (and only infrequently hit).

I love the blue one. Great looking pattern.. as are the rest.

Hans, Are we talking produce bags again? Those look great, especially the Snipe and Tups.
