What have you tied today?

It's not pretty but it should work on Sunday  [attachimg=1]

Don't bother!

Use the best quality feathers and use the pinch and loop method. Pull the thread down tight very smoothly.
Narrow wings are easier, a single fibre can't fold up :lol:

Really we need Clayton to do us a step by step :wink:

Yip totally, paired wings are the hardest thing to master imo, never managed to do it well, tips welcome  :

Guys
Watched for a year or two what you all tie and they are excellent,
You have said it exactly, good feathers, narrower slips is very important as for a long time I ,like many used too broad a slip.
The advantage I have at tying I do it almost every day as here there is no fishing except in the dirty gulf. I get fishing maybe 4-5 times a year when home, so I would rather be a bit rougher at tying and better at fishing.
Will do step by step for sure but bear with me as we had major fire and evac last night, like whole tower block engulfed in acrid smoke from main incoming power lines and junction boxes, so will have no electric for a few weeks but main thing was no casualties

It does not matter how pretty the flees are, if they're no in the water they will catch nothing, and some rough and battered flees have caught some lovely fish

Killer bug style nymphs in various weights. Real technical tying this lot.

I can confirm  the big stockies on The Lunan love these killer bugs  especially the ones with the pink bead....................................................    :lol:

Pink for grayling has been a revelation for me. Brownies like that colour too. I am going to give the pink zulu a go this year.

Pink glo-brite tail. I'm sure that would work well.

Glo brite butt and a hint of pink underwing on this one! Tied for tomorrow, going for a cast on the leven, 10mins walk from my house and I fish it about once a year  :roll:

Not sure if a pink zulu is a still water fly or not.But i discovered years back when fishing for grayling that trout love pink.I will often add a pink glo-brite tag at the rear of my favorite patterns.A ptn with a UV Pink Ice dubbed thorax works very well for me too.I used to find that grayling preferred hot orange over pink where i fished for them.Give silver beads a try if you have some.Silver works very well for me even in very low river levels.Doesn't seem to spook them on the three rivers i fish.Cheers
