New batch of cork bugs just got epoxied so finishing these out
Nice ties! I guarantee I would have those tails fouled around the hook with every cast. I'm consistent that way when it comes to ties where the wing is high like that. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Silverfly is obsessed with hook gap exposure in his ties (in my estimation/observation). His flies are pretty foul-free though, too, I think in large part because of his skill in shaping heads and applying goo of some sort (UV cure?), just enough which is a decent amount, to keep that wing/body flowing and foul free.
That should go on the Xmas tree.

Hopefully these will see some tuna soon! @Matt B ignore the funny looking white baitfish (fibers generously supplied by @SilverFly ).
Firehole Sticks 718 all purpose, size 14. I really like these hooks but will have to find a replacement when I run out, because they went out of business.
