My very first Thunder and Lightning but I'm still disappointed to have allowed the head to get away from me and at some point not noticing that I'd dragged the top few wing fibres back. Generally though I'm quite pleased with it. The final photo is just at an angle to catch the light better on the wing

That's well done Iain :thumb: But I must warn you, tying traditional / classic flies can be very contagious and it's hard to stop :lol:

Cracker that, lovely tying

Very good Iain!

I would dearly love to be able to tie more like this but I waste so much mallard that the thought of taking the time to build a multi layered wing, only to make a proper balls of it when I go to tie it in, there just isn't any point in me starting.

Well done sir! :thumb:
