My first post on here for a long while and one of very few flies I've tied, this time last year I was half way through an order of 300 this year it's my 3rd fly of the winter  :shock: doing this one for the fly swap. A snatcher, I Came up with this one at the stravaig last year where orange seemed to be 'the colour'. Hot orange seals fur, fiery brown hackles and sunburst Jc cheeks. Shows up great in the water and gave me a great day on West ollay, stayed on all day. #14 Czech nymph hook.

Cheers pete, not my best tie but it's amazing how rusty you get! Few more to go  :lol:

Simple and deadly.The wee snatchers have always been good fish takers. That's a nice colour scheme too.

Here's a wet one......put it on as a shrimp pattern when we were fishing around the weed beds and boulders but it did so well I kept it on and it worked just as well on the long drifts as well.

It's one of those 'fishy food' patterns that could be taken for almost anything. I've had good results on a GRHE pattern.

i did one like that with a greenish body. works a treat in the high lochans

Good wee flies dave, I like a hares ear one and a grey one with the fiery brown hackle. I'd never used them til a couple of years back when i read a guy who's done a guide to the north uist lochs. He was talking about how he likes using  them around the  machair margins for shrimps and like Jim says general food. That guys guide is good btw I'll see if I can find it and post the link.

mine are scruffy as hell. but the fish don't mind, fortunately!  :lol: they're kinda' semi-buoyant & then sink slowly with a bit of a tug.
