What have you tied today?

[Clansman]

Nice, The one with the piocture named orangeman is very like the seatrout and salmon flies we use on the Lomond system.

There is a very famous Lomond fly called the Orangeman. It's detailed in Bill MacEwans great book "Angling on Lomond"

Hi Malcolm

didn't realise there was one called orangeman - it was a name I used for my computer files to identify the pictures - don't really have a name for it yet

I've been experimenting with a synthetic hackle material called "Krystal Hackle". It adds a subtle bit of flash to an otherwize dull fly......

That is a fish catching klink for sure.

I received a surprise package through the post today....... A new fly box from The essential Fly in conjunction with FFFT mag as to my surprise I was one of the winners in round two of the comp that they are running. My fly will be published in next months mag..... It was a bit of a coincidence that I was thinking of getting a new box to fill with flies for my Loch fishing especially with Loch Watten in mind. As last year when I was up there as usuall I had umpteen boxes out on the boat with me. Next year I hope to take just one box with flies to cover all my needs. Here is the first new flee to go into my new box which I tied tonight.

Thanks for the kind comments gents.

Congratulation CC, and a cracking fly to boot!

Thanks lads for your comments. The funny thing is I have a vague idea of the pattern I tied for the comp but can't remember exactly what the dressing was. I know I havent any left in my box as I recall giving the last one to my friend which he subsequently lost so Im looking forward to seeing the pattern and dressing in the mag next month.
