Well done foolsgold , I had similar luck just messing with black feather and some silver for the body went down to the local river and Tied it on as a dropper for the laugh and low and behold along came a handy sized (3/4 of a pound) and took the fly.

I was delighted until i removed the hook to find that he had as good as stripped the feather off the hook, beyond repair.

I need to improve on quality, following some instructions in a book might help.

But the important thing is that I hooked a trout with a fly tied by myself.

It felt great.................
