What have you tied today?

[haresear]

Finishing off tonight with a dhe. A fly I've not fished for years but did well with. I wonder why we can't just accept a fly works instead of searching for the holy grail.

That's a fine example of a DHE. Exactly how I would like mine to look

Holy Grail - now there's a fly :lol:

Thanks guys. Tried a phd.  This style of hackling I think is as good as a parachute and more robust.  Need more practice though. Too heavy on the hackle.

I love a DHE and that one's a cracker....still my go to fly when olives anything...is hatching!

Passion Vine hopper for an imminent trip to the Motueka River.

Or a CDC & ELk by any other name.  :lol:   

Very fiddly to tie on such small hooks

A red duck fly. This has done great for me on some lochs especially in small sizes.

A bit bored as the TV is rubbish so tying up some flashback PTN's with Pogo style thorax cover.

Not pretty but designed to catch Trout.I have a load of them tied up with a pink ice dubbed thorax.My local trout just love a pink thorax often.Cheers All

Nice one Rab. That CDC will do the trick   :

Have you tried the foam lagging for copper pipe yet Fred.It seems to float much better than any foam i have bought from fly tying shops.Cheers
