What have you tied today?

[loch coulter]

Replenishing my wet flies a wee bit today, this is one that's been working well so far on the tail, usually tie with a gold butt but thought the blue stood out better against the gold b175, not a perfect tie but I like the pattern

cracking fly, i am green wi envy!

Cheers for the comments folks, love this orange/blue combination now. Andy I don't know if you've tried it yet but that wee sedgehog I sent you up in the winter got it's first outing the other day and it was cracking, this is the flies I fished the other day (slightly tweaked) took fish on all of them but the sedgehog out fished the other 2 3:1. If you haven't already tried it get it in your bob, works best sitting high in the water

And a wee variant, took out the palmer and added in the wing to make it more point flyish!

Tied these size 12 balloon caddis for use at the local.

Like that, how do you from the 'bubble'?

First tie in the foam forward of the eye then do all the other work then fold the foam back secure with whip finish then trim the waste piece of foam

This a good SBS for th balloon caddis
Using the right foam is the key or they sink :roll:

Have you got a golf buggy and fertiliser sacks on your legs

Funnily enough it picked up a nice fish just this morning
In fact I started using it about two weeks ago and I am now in full sedgehog mode. I have even been fishing a single sedgehog on occasions, I'm turning into Alan :shock:


Andy
