What have you tied today?

Cracking wee jig nymph that, nice!

I saw a picture of a Cardineal in one of Stan Headley's Trout and Salmon articles. Liked the look of the fly and thought I'd tie one up. In the process of doing so a couple of variants sprang to mind. Nothing ground breaking, but I think they should be useful enough. The double wing has quite a nice effect.

Robbie, to revert to the language of my childhood - those are rakers

I could see the middle one in particular doing a good job chasing silver in the Hebrides. Nice.

Some of my favourite PTNs tonight. Hard to get it to show in the pic but there is a ice blue tinsel flash on top of the thorax. Its a fairly subtle nymph but that tinsel just glints a uv flash at certain angles. This catches for me throughout the year from Jan to December for trout and grayling alike.

Really effective looking nymphs there Scott.

[Robbie]

Crackers, they look deadly.

Stunning flees Robbie and that looks a  very useful pattern too Scooby!
I recently acquired some old flydresser guild booklets with some very interesting articles  in them. Especially the fearures on Tummel flees and Tweed Flees.
As described in the Tweed Feature heres is a spider pattern I tied  named the red spider I'd be more inclined to call it plover & yellow
