What have you tied today?

[Mark]

Looks good. Are the skull heads super glued on?

[Wildfisher]

Yes glued on, I use zap a gap as it's waterproof. The eyes are stuck on then covered with UV resin and cured.

This is a useful dry fly. An American pattern called The Renegade. The contrasting hackles make it a bit easier to see on the water. Size 16.

some wee nymphs for the broonies, size 20 jig on top, size 18 jig below and bottom 4 are size 16 grub hook, i have been told the ones with the silver bead are the dogs baws!, but havent tried them yet.

Very nice chaps. Those wee nymphs are really interesting. There was a time that those colours would have been given the thumbs down by trout fishers but they seem to be getting brighter and bolder all the time now. Is it a pearl over red silk body on the silver heads ?

Correct, touch of varnish on the thread before winding the tinsel, thorax is rainbow dubbing. :

Thanks for that. Found it. Some really interesting 'Euro Nymph' type patterns as well. I'll definitely be tying a few of these Rainbow warriors. Cheers!

If you haven't already seen it, Lance Egan's film on Euro nymphing is well worth a watch if your that way inclined.
