What have you tied today?

[JimJams]

Very nice fly! Would never had said that was a size 8!

The B160 is a medium short shank hook!

Very nice Dave, Don't see many tied in these styles nowadays. Keep them for your hat  and throw a stoats tail at the fish! :wink:

I tie these to fish! They will all get a swim very soon. I use a 13' hardy split cane rod and a vintage G-Loomis 910 reel. This winter I been trying to get up to speed with these old flies. I'll post more when I get a chance.

They are beautiful Dave. I couldn't bring myself to fish a fly as nice as that! Imagine how bad you'd feel catching it up a tree or something  :shock:

[JimJams]

I love the low wing, any fly i tie i dread catching in a tree, i've seen me overhanging water hanging onto branches trying to retrieve the bloody things!

Nice flies Dave 

[troutmaddave]

Thanks guys. Glad to show them off. I just get a roll of an eye at home!! The girls just look at each other slightly side ways ,  "yesssss dad, they are lovely!!"
I'm just wondering where I can get some natural red (brown) schleppen?

This one is the Culdrain

now then; that's a pattern with potential! I can see something toothy latching onto that  :lol:
all beautifully tied Dave  : thanks for sharing them. makes me feel a bit embarrassed about the featherwings I sent out as crimbo presents tho... :roll:

[corsican dave]

There's a sort of 'Mad Max' meets roadkill about that last one Fred. :lol:

proper flea then. guaranteed to catch!  :

I tie these to fish! They will all get a swim very soon. .
