Thanks for that Mike, they're not a bad looking fly.

Those are interesting looking creations, along the lines of a
Zoocougar. I've never had much luck with heavily dressed streamers
but I should give one of these a try.

Thanks for the link

I had a crack at tying these last evening, the only problem tying them
was the under/over wing tended to kick up if the body didn't taper away
at the eye end.

Looking at tying pic 2 it looks like there is much more dubbing under
the shank than above: this may mean trimming or, as pic 2 appears to
show, a "back" that compresses the dubbing when it is pulled forward.
A shaped underbody (keel) would aslo produce the same effect.

I'll be interested to hear what you do: I'm gonna fiddle some more this
evening.

bugger fished dry on the last trip: yep you bet - pure arse. ;-)

He might be looping the antron then tying in the loop fore and aft.
