Lovely Fred, used one very similar that I copied from you on the deveron, worked well. Nice new vise ( or is it vice? 🤔)
Missed that copper john Robbie, nicely done

[Wildfisher]

No Andy, that's my old Apex Anvil (or should that be  Anvil Apex)   non rotary vice

Aaah sorry thought you'd treated yourself to an atlas

Lovely stuff chaps. It never occurred to me that it was possible to tie a Hi Viz dry fly in any way other than with a hackle post and para hackle. Live and learn eh!. There has been some great input from the river fishers of late. It's made me realise just how basic and lacking my own knowledge of river fishing actually is. It's also giving me the notion to get into it in a bit more depth.

Not dissimilar to yours Fred this one, liked the dhe but was a struggle to see on the water sometime so have done this one with elk to make it more visible (an ehe?) probably has a name but I don't know it![attachimg=1]

Pa the body is just the dubbing you see well wrapped in thread

Pps size 14, and this might show it better, simple as fook!
