Title: Flys on a pedestal
Post by: johnsd on February 18, 2018, 09:12:14 PM
Now my flys are very rough but the good thing is they catch fish don't know if that says more about the fish than me but having a browse in my fly box I seem to have some flys that I must have begged borrowed or st... Found I would like to know if anyone can spot their fly please note glass and wooden stand are for display purpose only.

The yellow deer hair daddy is Robbie's and the orange muddler at the back is one of Paul's ( I've got one too ;) ) don't think any of the ones you've 'borrowed' off me are in there  :lol:

None of mine.

I had a padlock on my fly box when we were on East Bee.  :makefun

I don't think it matters what fly you use when some of us carry more  luck than others.

Sorry to hijack your thread John - it reminded me about this fly that I was curious about who tied it:
[attachimg=1]

Tied at the 2016 EOSS, it ended up as one of the quiz prizes and a day or so later caught a nice trout on one of the brackish lochs. It's caught a few since then and surprisingly I've not managed to lose it yet :) Anyone recognize it?

Not mine, if I had to bet I'd say Alan clan chief, looks like one of his.
