Throwing together a couple more smallie flies. I was playing around with various brushes. The thinner head actually is made up of much stiffer material so I have a feeling it's going to swim a bit more erratic than the actual fish looking one (without me manipulating it more with my rod).

That is a beautiful fly
Just peacock and pheasant. This one is unweighted but you could add weight. Not my design, of course. See:

I slowly strip it using a sinking line.
