Every day is a school day

The Klink really should have had a longer barbed hackle than that then I could have left the post a bit longer but it will be OK for lochs.

First try at the knotted mallard legs, not the strongest but look good

Klinkhamer Special LT size 12. This is a big fly. Klinks should be big.   :D


Ollie Edwards says that Trout and Grayling must see them as a 'right juicy steak'  :D

A wee hopper, got some wild boar bristles tonight ( cheers lochgarry ;) knotted them up and don't think I'll go back to anything else, flare out nicely at the knot and really tough

I like that slot. What camera do you use?

Those legs are pretty bullet proof and so easy to knot, think boar has a good affinity with deer hair, was thinking of those legs on a deer hair daddy or something similar.
I am interested to see what you come up with using the tail fibres.

I was thinking the same thing, would look great on the daddy roobarb posted last week, this picture doesn't really do them justice the bristles really split and give a nice effect at the end, deer hair is pinned and salted, looking forward to trying it out  :)

Bibio I use the camera in my iPhone 5 with my tying lamp to light it. When I finish tying a fly I just snap it where it is, take the picture from about 6-8" away and then crop it in the editor
