The Pink Monkey

[scanny]

With the water chocolate and high just now, and usually having a bit of colour in it, i thought i would give the Monkey a bit of vibrance.

I gave the first attempt a swim today in nigh on chocolate water and i could see it 2 feet down and it pulsed and danced away fine. I've gone too heavy on the under wing and the head is a disaster but ill tidy them up when i tie a batch up. The good lady will just love seeing me staining the kitchen pink again simmering the goat in a pot of dye ;D

What do you think? How can it be improved colour wise

They look the part all right scanny

Although the top one is more sunray/collie than monkey

still who cares, they look great and willl certainly take fish

i really like the top one scanny- got a nice kink in the wing

Thanks for the feedback guys. The colour in coloured water is just what I was looking, just need to tidy the tyings up.

I tied a few more in the monkey, large winged(with a Mylar body to screams as a grilse taker) and dee sheep styles and they turned out well.

On the kink, I'm sure I inadvertantly caused it by using a hairdryer on a setting a little too hot to try to get most of the dampness out and scortched it-I'm reliably informed it's got split ends too, but it adds to the wiggle in slack water
