All excellent as ever. Must try tying the Dee Devil as it will be a good one for the back end.
What is the body material on it? Red Holo?

Ther are all nice flies but I am very interested in the bottom one. This is like a variation on the Red Devil which is an important fly in Ayrshire. I like the red tinsel body and the feelers, it could do well down here.
Very well tied flies by the way, you could do that for a living.

Very nice flies PTM, but I would like to see the Comally fly tail from Artic fox as opposed to what looks like Bucktail or similar stiff(ish) bit more movement in the tail with artic fox.
But apart from my own persnal wee change, all look excellent and as said before retailable!

Many thanks for the good coments,and i`ll answer some of the questions.
The Body is UTC red holo tinsel,on the Dee Devil,and i got the idea to tye it,after being given a couple when i was down on the DOON,a couple of years ago,caught 4 fish that morning all on 1/2" copper Red Devils,great wee flee and works a treat on the Tweed as well.
on the Comally,i did consider Arctic Fox in the tail,but with it being a long tail and a treble hook,i was concerned that it would get twisted under one of the hooks,so did`nt bother.
but might give one a try and see what it looks like.
