Hi Alasdair, Yes I always but Booby eyes on last. When using eyes on Fritz patterns, if you apply them first, you'll find yourself twisting the eyes or pulling the Fritz in behind the eyes which will force them forwards. Adding them last, you'll find that you can get the fly tied neatly and in proportion, without having to fiddle behind the eyes as you go.
