A zoo cougar made from maribou, Mylar, polar bear, mallard flank and deer hair. I heard they are good for browns. Anyone used them?

Looks pretty good Way, you may want that flank higher up though. I haven't tried them but I do plan on using them this year.

For your pheasant tails tail should be the length of the hook, measure your wingcase/legs to the length of the hook shank that way when you fold them over they are half the length of the shank, also don't cut the PT fibres. Klink looks ok, but shorten the post. With the reverse tied fly finish your fly on the hair, don't build a head infront. And don't cut your marabou on the poppers! Now let's see the next ones :)

what does the underlined mean

 

also the poppers need to be a certain size...is there a way of cutting it so it doesnt look cut with out cutting from the other end--i want a certain part of the feather to be used

When you fold the bucktail back and tie it down whip finish on the hair instead of building a second head in front. And for the marabou, find good quality stuff that has even tips.

And remember not to go too heavy on bucktail, the more you have the less movement you have.

Body looks good, tail's a few fibres too heavy, while it is acceptable to have 1 or 2 wraps of thread under the tail to prop it up you have a lot under it. Also, don't cut the legs, measure them beforehand so you are left with only what you need. That said that fly will still catch fish!
