What have you tied today?

I emailed Bob Wyatt for his thoughts. Bob's advice is a chunky body DHS.  I tied this one in 2 minutes - hare's ear body, roe deer wing, fanned out.

I think I agree with Bob.   :lol:

Nice and simple . I do like that, it looks like it would do well here too.

I think that's the beauty of Bob's flies Jim, they work anywhere. Fun as it is to be creative in fly tying I'm not sure I'd use my organza PVH here, but I'd use that dark DHS for sure. I like to keep things simple. As Bob said in his email it's more about presentation and less about fly tying. Fly tying is important insofar as tying something with the correct imprint  / profile.

definitely the case with the pike flies. get the movement right and they'll pretty much nail anything

Flattened and spread the wing on this one using a tiny spot of UV resin to hold it like that

That looks more like my style of fly 
I do like the simple ( or perhaps lazy) approach to fly tying.
