Thank you!

I can't be doing with tying teal wings, too footery.

Got to agree with Fachan. I remember a fantastic couple of hours sport in his neck of the woods last year on that flee. When in the middle of a wild, wet (and unproductive) day the wind just switched off, the rain eased a bit a frantic buzzer hatch started. The only thing that the fish would look at though (emergers, dries and nymphs were all pretty much ignored) was a size 14 Teal and Green - with a green lurex body and sparse teal wing - which they just couldn't get enough of until the hatch dried up. Great wee fly and I always keep a few tied slim in my box.

Nice looking fee BC. That a grey dyed pheasant tail body? And what's that hackle/legs?

[Crawhin]

Nice nymph there Bandy - does it swim in an erratic manner though?  :lol:

Last couple of days have tied some early season black and silver muddlers. Double hooks and lead underbodies to get down a bit despite the deers hair:-

And I was reminded here to tie up a couple of Teal and Greens:-  :?

The General also kindly sent me a recent magazine article with some interesting 'Taff' flees in it (cheers Davie). Gave a couple a shot including this which looks like it might do a fair turn in a summer sedge hatch:-

Looking good Ian.   I do like the wee black muddlers.  Gonna fone my wee mate John he promised me some very fine black deer hair.
The wee weighted black shrimp doubles work in a flat calm any time of year if just allowed to sink and drawn very very slowly back.
Usually taken as they sink and the fly is way down the throat.

Like the black muddlers, very nicely tied.

[Scotaidh]

I like the muddlers too, very nice.

I made up a fly last year like your Green and Teal, with mirage opal tinsel over green lurex for the body and a starling wing, I've had a rake but there is none left from last season.  I didn't know such a close resemblance of that fly existed!
