What have you tied today?

[Lochan_load]

Deadly, really useful looking fly. What quills are you using? I ask this all the time cos I've never found ones I like!

[pedropete]

nothing fancy, just plain quills I picked up at a tackle shop..cookshill do nice quills.

 eventually got round to trying my hand at the "crippler" style of wet, it's quite unique in the respect that the original has no tail, the colors are in the g.p. shoulder hackles...  I've never fished these, and I've hummed and haaa,d about a tail or not.. time will tell, Melvyn woods has great success with tails so ill go with that until I know different.. "CLAN CRIPPLER VAR"

Melvyn did really well with them, either on the top dropper or point.

it's a meaty fly, with plenty movement ill, say that. cant wait to get it wet in the right circumstances, of course, I've made a start on topping up the river nymphs, I'm relatively new to river fishing in earnest but I have a few friends pointing me in the right direction, hopefully, catch my first grayling this winter. some polish nymphs on dohiku 16# jig hooks.

Just back from holiday and haven't had much chance to look in lately. I've got to say, there are some really beautifully tied patterns on again. I honestly believe that if anyone ever wanted to see some of the best looking loch flies around at the moment they could do a lot worse than have a look on here. From lochs to rivers and from salt to specialist there are cracking examples of them all. Great stuff folks  :applause

you're right, Jim; there's everything from traditional to radically experimental & everything in-between. & some exquisite tying, too. we are lucky to have such a talented (& downright weird) bunch of friends on here  :
