What have you tied today?

[scoobyscott]

Looks good, sure it will be taken for a number of insects. I tied OEs MB nymph and a couple of leggy hares lugs. Im slowly getting better at the stone clingers

Tied these to try on my new intermediate, for when three flies loch style ain't cutting the mustard!

Looks good Andy, not used them yet but when I was tying them I kept the bristles parallel to the hook and I used a wider gape (b160 maybe?)  I see you've left a fair bit of the shank clear which will help, dont see it being a problem but will be fun finding out!

Ha ha yeah we live In hope! If those fat fish from last week are anything to go by i think they would prob swallow the lot!
The intermediate is just to give me another option, spend a lot of time thinking that I'm flogging a dead horse with a floating line, makes sense to try and get down amongst them, not gone for a hi-d line yet!

Been preparing for another bonefish stravaig in June.  Here's some of my efforts, together with a wide shot showing just how many more I've got to do for this box alone.  The photo quality's a bit ropey, but I used my aging iPhone for convenience while the notion to post still gripped me.

The way the fly hatches have been going this year I may yet tie up a few of those John's specials for the trout.

The permit flies will be next, once the bonefish box is populated.  Having said that, for permit it's mostly crabs and I have quite a few left from last time.  Crabs are a pain to tie, so I'll maybe just do a few.  As for the untidiness it's a fair cop gov'na, although all the materials you see lying around - furs on the right and legs on the left - are the materials currently in use for the Simrams, Peterson's Shrimps and Crazy Charlie type flies I'm making at the moment.  I owe a big thanks to my fishing buddy Brian for giving me a couple of his beautifully tied flies as samples, which has made me up my game a bit in terms of the tidiness of the actual flies.  So it's not all bad!

Hi there, I've just joined the forum. I'm really liking the whole setup. Congrats to all.
I've just tied this one among a whole lot of others in preparation for Lough Corrib at the end of May.

That should do nicely in a bit of a wave - bushy!
