What Are You Tying Today?

In general....this is usually how I look when I'm done cutting spun deer hair.

I wouldn’t worry too much if it’s a little spiky when you’re done.

This one really caught my eye. All your flies are beautiful but this just looks fishy. I may give it a whirl.

thank you 👍👍🍺🍺
 
I never saw this one before, but if we ever get some water in Western, PA, I’m going to to give this attractor wet fly some casts.

Well, the photo appeared before. Oh, well. Enough wasted on it.

Working on my parachute caddisflies for the caddis swap, and I'm pretty happy with how they are coming out, but I would love to hear some feedback. This is a size 12- kapok dubbing body, coastal deer hair wing, cream hackle, with a light pink post for the parachute. Anything you all would change about it?
