A question: am I right that you're not twisting the fibers much as you wrap up the shank?
Your right. There is a slight twist for a bit of strength. On this size a full twist or other material in the twist adds too much bulk.
Roadkill - On a little bigger fly I usually add a wire rib or often don't even use thread and tie it completely with a fine diameter copper wire.

That's as classy as it gets. Ray said it all.....you got the touch, the eye, and the love Bro. And it all starts with the respect for the fish. That's a damn gorgeous fly.

Ha, you've made a strong case for Teeny PT's before...question: does the color darken much as it wets-out?
