What have you tied today?

[Lochan_load]

On a small reservoir in a gale casting up to the dam wall, was a true last resort, it was the only decent sized fly I had with me and thought it was worth a throw, got 2 pretty quickly and called it a day, freezing!
The whisker is for a pal who stockie bashes at swanswater etc, I'm doing him a few lures as a thank you for a load of tying gear he gave me. The black and claret is for a wee hill loch that I've seen some good fish moving in and never managed to hit, I'm going up armed with an intermediate and some bigger flies! Been thinking about it all winter so it better bloody work!!

As the great Ayrshire poacher Rab Burnsbrig once wrote :  "A flee's a flee fur awe that."     :lol:

Really nice, like the tippet tail

[Wildfisher]

Andy,  I hadn't realized that was the correct tail material from the original pattern until I saw that video by the grandson of the guy who first tied the fly.

Looks good and makes sense, most traditional wets use tippet so why not dries, I'll have a go at that, if I can get time!

A Cervidae free Yellow Humpy

The Humpy is a great fly for fast water, pretty much unsinkable however the Elk / Deer hair back lasts for two fish if you are lucky. This makes the fly useless in my book. This is an attempt to tie a more robust  fly by replacing all grazing animal parts in the materials list.

Fred I agree with the concept, nice idea and nicely done!   I am awful with deer hair and I have done a few caddis patterns using synthetic materials in the past.  Unsinkable and easy to handle.

Haven't posted on this great thread for quite a while, so here's some flies I tied up for the current season.  They're tied for fishing mind, not showing!
