Starting to get into my new order of quills. The cinnamon were calling out to me tonight, so here is the result.

Body could be a little more smooth. Overall I'm very happy with how this finished up. Still some things to improve upon, the new technique I learned for setting wings seems to be paying off.

Thanks for looking

Dear EUNAN,

May I say something...YOU scored another 'homerun' with this "DOLLY VARDEN"...

You tied her beautyful and to the point...

You started realy good with that nice tip/tag ....further a splendid tail (with a little upsweep wich I like so much in a lot of flies)...body is good and tinsel and the spacings toooooooo ...great dense throaht...and a nice SET of that wing (perhaps a fraction longer would also had or could been possible but YOU know I am not the man proportionwise .....but EUNAN believe me this is a realy realy good classic wet fly YOU tied ...You can put this one easely in Your 'nicest' collection EVER of wet flies tied by Your own !

CONTINUE EUNAN....and I would repeat it ten times ...I am happy soooooo happy for YOU that success is coming 'clearly and seemingly' Your way ...

Thanks AGAIN for the comments Geert!
I used the shortest fibers on the quill for this fly after lining them up and they looked like they fit. I guess they didnt. Lesson learned though (maybe the wee Bushmills had an effect on my vision last night)
