They remind me of mine :lol:

Absolute crackers. Probably the most realistic I've ever seen. It must take ages to tie them. I'll bet he doesn't enter many fly swaps :lol:

Wow. Amazing stuff involving the dragonflies.
I would be happy enough to be able to take photos like that, never mind tie his flies.

I wonder if they actually catch fish?

Truly works of art. Amazin.

It'd be a right bugger though, if you stuck one on and some daft wee perch chewed it up  :shock:

Jesus,

I would have the first one cooking on ma barbie, never mind fishing with it.  :lol: :lol:

All the best

Amazing indeed - and certainly works of art. I'd be happy to give them wall space. Perhaps not on the end of a line though in most cases.

This stuff does beg the question - why do we tie flies? Is it to get a fish, or is it for the pure pleasure of constructing the fly. I'll admit to getting distracted by the act of tying and making up (nearly said designing, but that would be a bit tooo poncey for what I do!).
