Penquino ,

Life must be treating you fine , how did you get to keep that bass from shaking all over the boat?
I know, your special forces training gave you the ability to put the critters to sleep! HMMMM! I should consider you Dr. Dudelittle !

Make sure you fluff up the pillow a little !

They all look good. The only one that I might question is the shrimp GP's proportions. The mallard should be long enough to cover most of the eye stalks- at least to the black spot nearest the bend. I've been tying some of the flies with palmered saddles with palmered marabou to get more action out of the head of the fly. Trying to get good blood quill maarabou is tough though. Ron

Ron, Thanks for the comment. I agree finding blood marabou quills which have the right look is hard to find . I do have much better luck when I purchase by the 8 oz pack . More material to select. The palmered flies shown are all very wide webbed saddles . I use 2/3 hackles in complementing colors to get a blended look.I find the action is very pronounced when relazed after a short strip.

Speaking of G.P.'s one of my favorite and most productive flies, I find spey hackle to work the best, they look incredibly alive. My personal favorites are black and pink.
