nothing wrong with that. I have tied a good few and you can make them look so real. I got a bottle of glitter and put glue on the places I wanted to "glitter" and they did'nt look half bad....to me that is
Hi Guys
Just created my first Crease fly , what do you guys think . I am still getting the hang of tying these flies/poppers

Behold the fisherman. he riseth early in the morning and disturbeth the whole household. mighty are his preperations. he goes forth full of hope and when the day is ended, he returneth smelling of strong drink and the truth is not with him. originator unknown.

HI Adrian,
Very nicely done. Looks like ultra violet sparkle on the body.

Very nice adrian
If I may make some constructive criticism, i'd tie your crease fly on a relatively bigger hook size. By having a bigger hook gape you will increase your chances of hooking fish.

Nice fly. What materials did you use?

Hi Frik
The tail is white super hair and holographic flash . The body is 3mm white foam , shaped , folded and super glued to hook . I used a black/red perm marker and mother of pearl glitter for body patterns . Standard holographic stick on eyes and then epoxied over fly for durability .
Cheers
Adrian

Just a tip. Epoxy makes the fly very heavy. rather coat it with clear nail varnish or with softhead from loons. Its light and it last long enough. You will most probably find that that fly sinks, or spins in the water due to the uneven weight of the epoxy. Then they are just as useless as a dryfly with a wake behind it from the drag.
otherwise they look realy good.
