What have you tied today?

Well it's taken me nearly all afternoon to do one half decent sedgehog.

Was thinking of the Loch Ordie colours, all the deer hair has come from one bit of hide so quite chuffed with that, only problem is the deer hair is still a bit wet, salty and full of dead ticks and the house now stinks, good job there is no woman in my life to complain, although... perhaps that is why there is no woman in my life!

Couple of nice flies there and yes mark, the deer hair is stinking!!
Attempted a klink here Fred but could do with advice, at which point do you wind the hackle, before you build the thorax or after? How do you tie it down etc? This one might work but not totally convinced and a bit untidy

[Wildfisher]

There are a lot of methods Andy. As usual Davie McPhail's method takes a bit of beating. That's the one I'd recommend.

I had my suspicions you were a perfectionist Lochan, and that has just confirmed it! Untidy? Bloomin heck, i would be v proud of that one!

Cheers Fred watched the vid and I think I get it now! Had been trying to work out the logistics of tying it for ages, a quick watch of that and bingo! Cheers for pointing me in the right direction, bed time so I'll give it a bash tomorrow

Nice Andy, definite catcher. What's the butt?

After a bit if tutoring from mcphail (cheers Fred)  I've done this klink, tried these a few times and never really got anywhere, pretty pleased with this one

[Wildfisher]

That's a grand Klink Andy.
