Hi Ryan, I am struggling with the head size and searching for guidance. You know how much I like and use the Wilkinson Sunray from postings on SFF but somehow I've became sloppy at the finish. I'll drop you a message if I continue to have issues. The problem could be that I made so many of these European style patterns about 4 years ago that I have not had the need to tie for years. Now my flies are worn and chewed and I want to resupply and suddenly my heads are awful. I'll search to see if you have a Wilkinson Sunray video. Ard
Great job on this fly. Thank you for sharing this.
Any more tube flies? I love watching tube flies being tied!
Love this fly
Very nice fly
