What have you tied today?

A Pearly Invicta Variant on a stainless hook for the brackish lochs and sea pools.
Just the standard dressing apart from the arctic fox tail.

This looks brilliant and great tying, looks deadly for sea trout

Some fantastic examples of tying there! I do like that fly of yours Fred!

[Wildfisher]

Thanks Allan. the palmered Dunkeld is awful, but I hardly use flies like that. I much prefer the more lightly dressed second example.

Like the last one, the teal in the tail gives a nice definition to the squirrel, after looking at your post I've seen you live in south uist, been reading a bit about the fishing over there  and dying to have a trip out, your a lucky b@£(;er!

Sorry, arctic fox!

Encouraged by some of the recent flies on display here I tied a couple of these tonight.

My kind of fly, like the extended butt

Encouraged by some of the recent flies on display here I tied a couple of these tonight.

This makes me think of a warm June day with a nice wind. One of these on the bob dragging along the wave before casting and trout splashing at it from all directions- magic!

I hope yer right about that!  LOL

I don't tie or use traditional flies much these days, but on the very rare occasion I fish wet flies on lochs this is pattern I like to use. In fact this was the fly that caught the very first good fish on a forum outing to a certain  area in the northmen highlands a few years ago. it's a pattern by Aberdeen angler Scott Park he calls the "Jungle Claret".  Dead easy to tie - golden pheasant crest tail, bright claret SLF body, black palmered back cock hackle, silver tinsel rib,  black hen throat hackle, jungle cock cheeks. It is very effective.
