Homie - try nano silk which is excellent for tying down deer hair - it is virtually unbreakable and incredibly thin  -  see this review

Good work there bud.
The red eye damsel looks potent. Good job on the Klinkhammer, they can be tough to tie especially the parachute.


My first flies looked awefull, I just threw them away, so anyone who can tie a fly properly on their first try is okay in my book.
