after being a trout hunter for years, its time to get after that beaut that is the silver king! Hoping that this effort will net one eventually! I hope this isn't a bad effort!    please comment as with experience comes knowledge. Cheers C (what do you think Martin? Braw  ?) |

looks more bulky than it is but the profile is generally nice, albeit a little chubby A lighter wire hook would be more suited also. may not use the orange crystal flash at the head on the next one. cheers |

Not a critisism but maybe ideas for improvement, great fly as is though. Aye the crystal flash might be better with a strand or two less at the head and under the last tippet instead of on top. To be pedantic the first turn of rib on the head part of the body looks a bit odd
Cheers

That's a bonnie looking fly. Are you going to post the dressing?
In my very humble opinion it would look and fish better with half the material quantity, a bit heavily dressed for me.
