Nice looking flies Kev

The profile of the middle one is spot on

If you ever find the wings wrapp[ing when you fish them, try tying your first layer of fox fatback style, ie tie it in facing over the head of the tube, then pull it back hard into position, and make several tight turns of thread infront of the fox (not onto it) this will make it stand up almost vertical.
Then tie your other wing layers in the normal fashion over the top.
this will give a real lift to your wing preventing wrapping and aid swimming action

Thanks Dave I never thought of tying in the first layer like that I will give it a try tomorrow! The pictures are not great I took them with my phone and was trying to up load it with it as well.
I think that they would work well on the Creed may get a wee chance next summer if all goes well.
