Nicely done Paul!
I tied a couple of Irish style flees today! One with JC one without. This is a good example of how JC really gives the flee a lift!

I am liking just about all the flies appearing recently, but you get 10/10 for this one. A fish catcher if ever I saw one!

A wee green tailed Kate! Not fished this pattern for a while but do recall using it to good success at my local loch a good few years ago when it was the in vogue flee there!
Funny how the popularity of fly patterns come and go!

Always did quite well for me early in the season.

Today I attempted to tie a flee as described in Tom Stewart's excellent book "fifty popular flies" Vol. 2.
This is his variation of an original pattern called the Bloody Mary. He states that there are many regional variations of this pattern. He mentions that this one is from Perthshire!  Im always reluctant to declare that Ive tied a specific pattern that I dont really know very well! As we all know far too well, the Flytying Polis might be watching! 😂 Anyway I think this flee is attractive enough to fool a troot or two!
