What have you tied today?

[corsican dave]

It's been a tough year for fishing for me with lots of plans being thwarted right left and centre due to ill parents and ill In laws. However, I can see a wee window possibly opening up this week and I've tied this little chap specifically to take a wiggle tail in the hope of tempting a decent 'alien' as Dave would say! Roll on Friday !

that looks a cracking pattern, Jim! let's hope you get a chance to chuck it out  :

Hi Andy,
those pearl dabbler doubles look amazing, I am sure that the trout will love them too.

Dunkeld double from underneath, the marabou tail is tied in as an underwing to give it more pulse....or so the story goes!

And cos I've tied nothing but trad wets lately thought I'd make use of a couple of new materials, boat bristles I've dyed sunburst and some blue holographic, and do a salmon fly. Shrimp fly on a sz 10....[attachimg=1]

And from above you can see the bristles

This what happens when you've been tying Bantons Whistler Pike patterns all day and you let your discipline slip, take a bit more caffeine than you're used to and catch sight  of a stray Wullie Gunn in your hook box ! :-)

[rannoch raider]

Yeah, I like that too. You can just tell that's going to catch. That's nice material that silli legs stuff.
