What have you tied today?

Lovely sand eels.

Never used them here but those are the best Barracuda flies going if your ever go anywhere that has them.

Blue winged olive. This one is one of the first dries I tied, caught a nice trout with it an hour later!! Beginners luck!

I like them....... What's the body for the bwo?

Superb tip.

yep, that's a great tip Jim just never thought of it....doh! :roll:

Nice fleas Dave. I've never seen a Dark Watchet tied with split wings. In fact, as we said earlier, split wing flies are rare as rocking horse sh1t these days. You're obviously on a bit of a mission to keep the old traditional patterns flying.  :lol:
Nice to see them though!

The body is as I remember hares ear with golden olive and light olive guard hairs mixed, starling wing and a badger cock hackle.
