What have you tied today?

[Clan Chief]

Great stuff Robbie there will be no stopping you now. I especially like the orange muddler. I hadn't tied for a while either but with the EOSS looming I started once again, really enjoying being back at the vice again. I'm gonna bring the vice and some materials etc to the Stravaig. Be great to sit at night at what appears to be a big table at the hostel and tie a few flees whilst enjoying a wee drappy!

Yeah The impending EOSS has added to the incentive. Taken some tying stuff along sounds like a grand idea.

Had a bit of a play with a sedge hog using claret straggle fritz, quite taken with the effect.

Nice! Good idea! very leggy!

Looks really good, still to do some sedgehogs. I've only dyed deer hair once but it didn't go well, the colour took great but it dried out the hair and it lost all its buoyancy, not sure if there's a specific way to do it

Tied another few. I was going to tie more Muddlers but changed my mind mid tying. Instead of going ahead with the deer hair head I thought red and black collar hackles would do.

My variation of the goats toe. Tied a blue hen hackle behing the blue peacock. Red hackle fibres for tail . Peacock body ribbed with red wire.

Right! That's enough tying for now, I'm off out on the bike , gotta keep the fitness up for the Stravaig!

Not the best photo, but it gets the idea across. Previously used dyed black pheasant tail for the legs but thought I'd try something a bit more robust this time.
