What have you tied today?

Nice one Billy. There's been a lot of mayfly patterns popping up lately. Looks like there could be a few attacks on the cards soon? :wink:

Having a play with Pheasant skin I picked up at the fly fair:

oh yea..nice one Robbie, i like flashy bodies on my weets..not a huge fan of that pattern of hook but i dare say it will do the job admirably.

Cheers Pete, I've been using the FM barbless hooks for a few years now always found them to be very good, strong, good hook set and seem to hold fish well. What don't you like about them?

[pedropete]

I'm glad to hear it, Robbie, i have a Cpl hundred i bought, its nothing rational, maybe i just have to fish them more to gain confidence..I'm sure they are perfectly good hooks. just me being daft.

[Robbie]

I always Debarb my hooks or use barbless hooks so that part is not an issue for me. I did initially wonder about the slightly reduced gap due to the upturned point, but have not had any (noticeable) issues with this.

[Lochan_load]

I always tie my wets on barbed hooks and my dries on barbless, no real reason other than I think they look better  :roll: never have any problems losing fish on barbless/debarbed though.
Another for the point.....[attachimg=1]

That is a cracker! Lovely tying.
