Title: Traditional wet box
Post by: scoobyscott on April 18, 2024, 02:24:39 PM
Started a traditional box for the lochs. I have promised myself to get the float tube out at some point this season as its been about 4 since the last outing. Anyway started off with some mini lures and some bob flies

They should do the business !
I've done quite well with a fly like your top one but with a red marabou tail.

I started off with the intention of tying a kate but I cant help but tinker.

Really nice ties there Scott. I do need to restock some of my boxes this season but haven't tied a fly for a couple of years now and know the close up eye sight is going to be a shock!
