This thread appears dormant these days. I can't believe nobody is tying during these cold winter nights.
Tied this today. Its the first time I have used Jay feathers I normally substitute them with Guinea fowl or dyed partridge feathers. I think I prefer the jay.

That's a really nice looking fly CC.  What's the recipe?

[Wildfisher]

That second fly is a belter. I can imagine it doing a lot of damage on a warm June / July  day on the loch with a rolling wave.

I have actually been at the vice most of today, tying up some variations on a theme. But alas I cant find my wee digital point n shoot. I have been going through all the patterns in the index and tying like crazy, some good, some ok and some.................well shite to be honest, but it's all good fun and helping me learn. Will try and find the camera to post some of my rather sad efforts.

Exactly, don't want anyone to think I am slagging off their flies in the index
