Popped into Poundland and bought huge amounts of gold, silver, green, red and purple tinsel which will be great for the bodies of tube flies and larger lures. They come as some sort of hula hula skirt like decoration. Each strand would tie at least half a dozen flies. Also a large bag of crystal flash that will do me for years. £6 the lot.
Tied a Willie Gunn variation with a green body and bug bonded it. Must say it looks really good although whether it will catch anything only time will tell.
