What have you tied today?

[Clan Chief]

Those flees look excellent Wee Bri. My favourite style!

It isn't often I can contribute to threads on here, but I was at a loose end this evening.

I can't decide over the floss tail or the fibre tail...

Thus I present the Meannt Dubh

Bri
It is the go to fly for one of my friends.  I have just refound my enthusiasm for tying so it must be getting near the start of the season.
As soon as the sun comes out with some warmth will probably trigger me tying the CDC/ELK which I am amazed no one recommended for
Highlanders soujourn to Islay.  So if no one has used it down there, I will be on my way. 

Some great flies on here especially considering some are very new to tying

1st visit in a few days but some really nice flees from Malcolm, Crawhin, Bri and the General.

Sorry if I missed any.

[Crawhin]

You're right Don - there's been some great stuff over the last few days guys - this thread just keeps getting better.

Scotaidh - what materials produce your glow in the dark effect there - very interesting?

Col - will try your palmered MB muddler - looks really deadly.

Wee Bri - some great patterns and tying there. Love the Irish mayfly patterns. Boy those hogs are bright though! When would you normally fish them? 

General - your DB patterns are very unusual - I didn't see the FF&FT article - what was the thinking behind those?

Cheers,

Ian

The rib is fluorescent green UTC 140 tying thread.  I think if that was a successful fly I would invest in a spool of fluorescent green wire.

Cheers.
