If you're fly fishing as though you are 'in a contest', and the only objective is to 'catch fish' - you are missing the point .... and that is disappointing

Looks like a nice wire weave. Maybe try a partridge or CDC hackle at the collar to give it a bit more movement. It should sink well like a classic ptn.

Thanx guys
Yes Darryl, its the first time i have played around with weaving, and as you can see its not very neat. Every now and then I clean up my desk and usually see what I can come up with by useing all the little left overs from previous flies
Talking about desks, I need more space

Very nice. I think you will get better results with weaves by using softer and flexible materials, at least while you're getting the technique down.
