Hi all,
Thought I'd share a few of my recent tyings with you. Nothing new here, you'll have seen it all before I'm sure. Hoping this little lot will do me a job on upland loch and llyns this coming summer.

If I was sitting in a boat at Hamanavay, perusing fly boxes during a change of menu, that Connemara Black would be straight on!
A nice variety of patterns there. I could quite happily go fishing with that selection. What do you use for hares ear, is it a mix? Looks spot on 👍🏻
Cheers. The hares ear is actually a blend I made of hare, grey squirrel and fox squirrel, but the darker stuff at the head is a packet mix which I got from Romanian company 'Troutline'. It's called 'black pepper' and I like it a lot.....it gets used for all sorts of stuff!

I can see why, looks great. Lovely flies!
Absolutely beautiful tying there Matt. The hare's ear patterns are very fishy. Lovely job.
Cracking flies and lovely tying!
Sure fire bunch of flies. Lovely :D :D
Nice looking flees :applause
Just been on the troutline website, ordered some of that black pepper and a couple of other things. Looks a good site, if the euro exchange wasn't 1.07 it would be really good value as well :roll: as it's was is still relatively cheap, cheers
lovely tying, cracking selection , plenty to choose from.

Aye he's pretty good. I recently needed some magenta seals fur and found some on his site. I wasn't expecting much quality wise but was surprised - really high quality gear. The blended dubbings he does are consistently good stuff too. Defo recommend them.
