What have you tied today?

You must've been busy! What is a kawahai? Very envious of your trip

It is my usual "ammunition over quality" approach. In other words I'm a lazy fly tier

A kahawai is a sea fish also found in the river estuaries in NZ. The Aussies call them "salmon". They fight well and so do the fish :lol:

A few wee wets and buzzers

Vaughan was the inspiration for this. What better way to imitate the hemoglobin in a buzzer than a wee glass bead.

The one above is claret black and red. This one is flouro orange and an orange claret with orange bead.

I don't have antron yarn on a spool, but managed to use a loose hank easily enough. You do have to tist it a lot and tieing it off with thread after is a bit of a fiddle.
