ThanksLen and short grub! Len that material is called Dandy Long Legs and is a thin stretchy material. I thought that it would not only be bright, but wiggle a good bit since it's so thin. I just hope it doesn't break too easy. I have had the stuff for a few months and just have not been able to tie stuff like this as I have just been trying to catch up on orders. Thankfully I got a nice order for some flies and I do enjoy tying flies a lot. There is so much you can do and dream up, no limits with how I look at it. I didn't use and dubbing on these, but will on some others I will come up with to finish this one. I have 2 more patterns to come up with and at least one will be a soft hackle fly as I just love sort hackle flies.

Nice flies. I really like the third down fly. Good work Skip

Way above average Skip. They all look good in different ways. The leggy chenille and the purple on the top two would be a slam dunk. The red tail bee is going to put lots of fish int the boat. I usually add a spot of red or chart to see what turns their mood around, one or the other always makes a difference. Real nice work.
