Very nice buggers. I've tied thousands of buggers over the years,but the way you are going it won't be long before you catch up.

That purple is just a killer color.... where did you get it from...

The marabou is from an old bag of craft feather I had for a while and the hackle is purple neck streamer cape. I was lucky to it with all the women putting them in there hair. When is that fad going to end? The women would go ape s**t if they knew what I had...He, He, He! The chenille is bugger chenille purple and black.

I really like the looks of your blue/purple flies, but the natural ones would be the better of the two imo. VERY NICE JOB!
FYI: FLY TYERS magazine reports that the fad is over and some beauty supply houses are wanting to sell the feathers back for the same price they purchased them for...lol. I guess the fly shops are getting the last laugh....
