I have yet to tie a "toad"
myself

Looks really good to me. Maybe just a little less collar. But that’s just my opinion, fish disagree with me all the time.

That'll get eaten ALL DAY LONG. Nice tie!

That'll get eaten ALL DAY LONG. Nice tie!

The 2nd came out even better....

 

[Zika]

Nice job. I'd eat either one if I were a 'poon.

If only that were true. No fly gets eaten by tarpon all day long. None of them. That is a good looking fly but we're talking poons here.

I've been tying for 51 years. I'm so ashamed! Nice tie!

Welcome!

 

[BigEasy]

I have no idea if a fish would eat it but it looks good enough that I wouldn't think a second about tieing it on and fishing it. Nice work.

Don't ask us ask the poons

I just tied my first toads today... but I can't up-load the picture as I'm getting an error message instead of the picture loading......

Just don’t forget to tie the rabbit facing down. Go to the you tube and watch the creator tie the original( gink and gasoline with Gary Merriman)and S and S flies tie of the marabou.

Looks good! Better than my first attempt!
Try using 1.5" chromatic brush for the collar, splayed back and them trimmed a bit.
As you get more efficient at tying the head, try and stack the EP fibers a little bit tighter and experiment with using more or less per pinch.
