Indeed those are really sweet ties! Nice airy, translucent and with some flash built in. Those will pin a few fish. Very Happy

Thanks Guys !!

Attack ,

The first one is a hairwing version of a Lady Caroline , I got fed up one day when the steelhead were on to then and split every bronze mallard wing . So I decided to go with Finn Raccoon instead , the fish don't mind at all and the flies last alot longer . The second one is a VooDoo Child .

Those are great flies. Hoping to be able to tie that good someday.

All great looking ties posted above. That white bugger looks massive. What size hook is used? A 1/0 or 2/0 perhaps?

I wish I had a couple of those voodoo's- they look like they would pound 'em.

What I think you are saying is that you always end up wrapping it to many times and being forced to tie it off down by the base of the feather where the vein is pretty thick. In return because the vein is so thick you leave a lump there where the vein is under the thread right? If this is the case the answer is quite simple: Don't wrap it so many times! Wink You should always quit wrapping the feather once the vein begins to get thick if you want your flies to look neat. I think this is what you mean. You have me confused by saying down by the marabou as Marabou is a completely different type of feather than a schlappen or hackle feather. General hackle will have shorter fibers, schlappen will have slightly longer fibers, and marabou will have the longest fibers. The fluffy stuff at the base of the hackle or schlappen feather is really not good to use as it is always at the point of the feather where the vein is much
