Waddington flies with a twist

[daijones]

Was visiting Alun (sewinangler) the other night, and as always borrowed a few fly tying books. and one of the was Kenichiro Sawada's book Tube & waddington fly dressing, what a book for getting the gray matter working. so tied these waddingtons up not patterns that were in the book but some thing i put together.

This one tied on a 11/4 shank.

And this one was on a 1 inch shank.

These were done on Veniards shanks, don't like the size of the eye on them far to big for size of shank my thoughts.

Hope you like them, any comments welcome.

Also after playing with waddington shanks, had a go with snake flies.

13/4 inch snake, and my take on Ken Swada's Solar winds.

Again 13/4 snake, think this is a good way to add a bit of color and sparkle.
