What have you tied today?

[loch coulter]

found the tying for these on u tube, think they might be ok for brownies and maybe sea trout.

Nice pattern.

I like the look of those. Small ones (12's and 14's) for trout on the buzzers and slightly bigger ones for sea trout. Do you have the tying?


Andy

red thread for tag, black thread body with lurex rib and then covered with thin coat of uv resin to help protect the body, blue lightbright for the thorax and i have used black cock for the hackle, hen might be a better option. look up Mac  flies on u tube, he ties some nice flies.

Robbie, do you find your Donegal blues rib is a tad fragile,I prefer the look of flat tinsel but end up tying with a heavy oval tinsel,it doesn't  look that bad as it blends into the dubbed body well.

One of my top 3 sea trout flies, especially in smaller sizes

First time I've tied these and have similar concerns over durability of the rib. But it's a quick tie so not real trouble in churning out a few. Will give heavy oval a go though.

Similar to my red arsed spider that I tie.

You could probably get away with using hard as nails instead of the resin, just have to wait a bit for it to dry.

I'm not really a fan of UV resin and glues (too lazy) bu the colour scheme is something I will try for sure.


Andy

just use silver wire or tinsel.

You want to be looking for MAK-flies operated by Arshad Khan who sells his flies on Ebay.  He's a very talented fly tyer and he also has a YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDcefaho8uvkV8asL_sQdPQ
It's well worth a look if you get the chance.

similar colours to the connemara black, b160 size 10, black thread, red tinsel for the tag,silver wire rib, black hackle at front and dyed blue grizzle at the head.
