Well done sir. I do not understand "twisted goose barb". Could you explain?

Very nice ties!
And yes please explain further on the twisted barb, it looks a very nice material for fly bodies.

Outstanding work--love the little splash of color in the tailing as well. :) A question: are these Mustad R50's or some other hook?

Very, VERY nicely tied flies. They look like they would be winners anywhere.
