Very nice again Andy, may have tie a few up myself.

Today I have mainly been tying Deer Hair Sedge. Quick, simple and hopefully deadly....

oh lovley stuff..what kinda hair have you used for the wings? a fine addition to the flee box Robbie.

[Robbie]

Used Elk hair for the wings, Fred recommended this to me some time ago.

I'm going on a trip where the main flies are skating sedges that are green. The scruffier the better.

More green caddie but not for skating

Smashing fishy looking selection there guys. I used a heavily dressed and really big Elk Hair Sedge as a sighter / indicator a few times last year. I was quite surprised how many fish took it !
I'll see if I can dig it for a piccy. It's a really unlikely looking thing  :shock:.

Looks like a few of us are looking to fish dusk/night . Not a bad idea, evening is when the big boys come out to play  :roll:
Paul I have used sedge for oh 50+ years but other than a female Grannom with it's green egg sac I have never seen/used a green bodied one I take it you have had success on these. Having said that & this applies to night I believe size & shape are more important than colour.

Think Paul's flies are for foreign shores alan but they'd do just fine in Caithness too.
That skater would do alright as a stonefly imitation on the Clyde, there was loads yesterday but only saw one get hit, looked a good fish though.
