What have you tied today?

Been busy lately on a little project (watch this space very soon) so I haven't had much time for tying flies, but...
This is a little something to accompany it.

Nice flees. I tied a few Salmon flies similar to those two in the 1990's for an iminent salmon fishing foray and they've still not had a swim!  :shock: That sedge fly looks very sedgy too - I like the wing.

Scotfly,

That is a cracking looking fly. If the deer hair was trimmed from the top half of the fly it would look unbelievably realistic. I doubt that the trout mind either way.

Smashing fly that BHS Scotfly - looks just the job for a late summers evening.

Today I have been daydreaming of the Western Isles in a few weeks time and of connecting with some silver. Flies have been mostly Muddlers :-

Crackin' flees Ian, does the first fly have a clear plastic tube over the body ?

[Crawhin]

Thanks for the encouragement lads. I hope that a few fishes - resident or visitors - take a liking to them way out west.  
Don - no, not exactly - it's a double layer of pearly tinsel over gold holographic stuff on the first one.

Cheers,

Ian
