Fishhead,
Wow! That's sexy! The tail colors look as if you borrowed them from Ruard. See his thread on dying! Another great design using everyones favorite bird.....Partridge! Good job!!

Fishhead, it's like a Breadcrust/Flymph pattern. Nice combination. This has lots of potential for variations. Especially if you're combining effects to match bugs/stages. It's interesting.

Great flies I especially like the second one!!

The first one would be a hit around here for the little yellow stone hatch. ;)

Both are great flies, but that 2d one really catches my eye. Very well tied.
