What have you tied today?

The olive one is a spinner btw hence the angle of the aero wing and I'll prob trim the hackle on the bottom flush before I use them.

Very nice Andy , now all you have to do is to compress that dressing into a size 22 !  :shock: . I've never seen that synthetic quill before. It looks like it could be quite useful for ribbing in particular. Could I ask where you found it ?

All great flies, looks like the river trout are going to take a hammering soon.

I have some small hooks on order, might get to have a play before the weekend.

Hopefully tomorrow robbie 

It's veniard stuff jim, got it at GAC. It's not bad but think a 14 would be about the limit as it's a lot thicker than natural stuff, doesn't snap just as you are about to tie it off!

Thanks Andy, I've found it, it seems to be in stock everywhere. I've never noticed before. I need to get myself up to speed with what's out there for modern trout fly tying!

I just saw it when I was in there, I'd be interested to hear of anyone has used any other synthetic ones, think hends do one

My new hooks arrived yesterday, just managed to grab 15mins for a quick play. Smallest hook is a 24, don't fancy trying anything too elaborate on these! Something simple was not too bad:
