What have you tied today?

Thanks Fred......they did well last year for a very jammy weegie friend. Let's hope the troots like them in uist.

I'd be tempted to tie  a sedge-hoggy thing with a lot of long,  fine silicone-rubber legs.  These would add a lot of movement to  the fly when pulled and even impart movement when virtually static. I know they make a big difference to, for example, woolly buggers. Bob Wyatt ties them like that and Bob is not  a proponent of fancy fly tying for tying sake.   The last 3 or 4 years of using a variety of self tied / modified patterns  have convinced me that legs can be the difference between success and failure. But the legs must be long and flexible, short and stubby is pointless.

A fly cannot have too many legs!   :lol:

Those bumbles are lovely, really nice and the sedgehogs are very like ones that do well for me on the rannoch lochs.
I've tied a sedgehog with rubber legs before but don't think I've fished it, they're great on streamer/cormorant type patterns though, really bring them to life,

That wee jammy wedgie must be getting on in years. Is he still managing to get about.  :roll:

He is and we'll just need to look after him a wee bit better with each passing year. No doubt we'll be told his age by Tuesday night. Anyway, he can still cook a breakfast so he has his uses.

He's still raiding unattended fly boxes then?    :lol:

I'll bring a wee tartan blanket to put over his knees.
Wee soul.
