Great flies!

Question - how many strands of Krystal Flash do you use?

fishhead, Howdy;

Good lookin' flys.

i like them both very much.....but specially like the second (bottom) one.....for me, there's no such thing as hackle that's to long. To long is a non-concept...........doesn't exist. Great colors in that fly.

I used 6 strands of flash, 1.5 each color whole before cut

That got me thinking. A fly with a slim body I think will look good with long or short hackle, but I think I like the longer hackle on any fly with a buggier chubbier body.
or just tie em up both ways and let the fish decide

thanks everyone for the reply's

Nice tasty morsels!

You should tie them both ways. There's always a good chance, certain situations where you'll be happy you have them!
