What have you tied today?

[Lochan_load]

I usually leave a bit of shank just for the head but thought I would try tying further up the shank and laying the deer hair on a shorter, fatter bed of thread.....doesn't work! Hair wouldn't spin or spring up, you live and learn  :roll:

I've seen this in a few places.

It would be interesting to fish it next to a Bibio and see what they go for the most.

I think that fly would benefit from a teal wing. :crap

The stripped down wingless version of the Peter Ross has been around for at least 35 years. I knew it way back then as the 'Pet' It worked well as a small fry imitation but it also done the trick fished as a buzzer when the black fellows were hatching. It isn't terribly unlike some of the Irish Duck Fly patterns. :wink:

im sure I've got one in my box hidden between all the unused peters and the teal blue and silvers. I should really give it a swim.
