What have you tied today?

[Clan Chief]

I too am enjoying this thread very much. The reason I started it was to see what everyone was tying. It also provides inspiration for others. I know that its given me some new flies amd ideas to try, so keep it up lads. Get yer flies oot for the lads

Just want to say what a great idea this post was. i have been looking with envy at all the flies shown purely because I can't tie to save myself although i am still trying.

I do like the doobry that you tied Clanchief. Now if only i could tie as good as this.

Col,

those DP's with FB's and SSW's look like they should cut through the surface and hang just right in a very tempting fashion. 

Should add a couple to the winter tying list.

Two of my latest patterns............

I've not used one yet Bri, but it was intended as a visible searching fly. I wanted something easy to tie for the fly swap and the Madams was born out of light grey Mcflylon for the wing. Come to think of it the McAdams is a much better name

I like the Madams too. It's very much like the Adams Trude but with a grey poly wing and clipped hackle ( :act1; Scarper........, its the fly police!). I tried something similar to good effect last year - but retaining the white wing and full hackle. I used reddish squirrel hair or Coq de Leon fibres for the tail (depending on size) and mink underfur for the body. It worked pretty well in limited use.

Cheers,
