Having looked through the A to Z i really like the Willie Gunn inspired Flame Throwers - These were my first attempts and I'm am not really happy with these - i feel they are a bit overdressed, but i they should do a job in the summer for the Grilse... Sorry the quality of the Pic isn't great.   |

They'll take fish although I agree they are a bit overdressed. Try and force the hackles back to get the flamethrower shape.

I agree to it being overdressed if grilse are your target with this fly, but do like the rear sparkle in the body before the first rear hackle, it's certainly showing from the pic.
I don't put that in my tyings of the flamethrower, but may try after seeing this.
Anyway, I like it so thanks for the food for thought and good luck with it
