In my opinion I think you did an excellent job on this old fly. In finishing up the Head if you want a cleaner head wrap the last hackel around the thread and pull it back into the hackels and whip Finnish. Go ahead and give it a try. I've been twisting feathers forever sixty five years. Good luck and health for you and your's Dave Hughes 🎣🤠

Perhaps the finest tied dry fly that I have seen! Bravo!!!

[@adkflytying]

Thank you man, appreciate that

[@robertdufresne1656]

I agree !

[@patrikrugolo6973]

Very nice!! I'll try to do it as soon as possible, thanks!!

[@user-mb1hg4qu9f]

Nicely done! 👍🏻 (That said, I kind of prefer sparse and slightly tall hair wings for Catskill style flies. Even if they're not traditional. That's just me, tying!)

[@CarlettaBailey]

I love this

[@mooney411]

Great tie!! Are you keeping the pheasant tail fibers on the tail???

[@adkflytying]

Reluctantly yes. Haha. I'm mad about it

[@davidhughes2622]

They will assist on splash-down to keep the fly above the 🌊 water and float longer.
