I think they're great.
They would produce well on most of the streams I fish.
Thanks for posting,

Hi Gareth, super flies, love them all. The wee copper johns are a treat and the #18 paradun is just beautiful, fantastic proportions. I haven't used the 900BL hook, and I do like the black finish.
Looking forward to more!
Take care, man. Hope you enjoyed the BFFI last weekend.

Thanks Andy, glad you like 'um, that means a lot coming from you :) And BFFI was great thanks! Funnily enough, I'm sure I saw a framed photo or something with Small Fly Funk emblazoned on it near the UK Fly Dressing stand...did you have any gear being displayed there mate?
Jeanne, if we're ever in a fly-swap, a few of the flies might just fall into your fly box :)

Hi Gareth, yes I put a set together for Keith Passant's 24hr tying marathon auction - he was raising money for Casting For Recovery. Sounds like it went well... I wasn't able to make the show, hope to next year.
Catch you soon, hope the grayling are takin'
