What have you tied today?

[Scotaidh]

More loch flies, Bruisers this time.

Davy.

I like those, can you share the "recipe"?

[Scotaidh]

Thanks, I thought that was blue seals fur.  I'll need to dye a wee puckle and give it a try.

Still on the early season flies for me , I tried some greenwell spiders today, just done from a picture so used what I had handy, tied on size 12 kamasans

I like those.

Did you use some of your carpet for dubbing?

[Clan Chief]

Love the Bruisers. :applause

[Pete]

Very nice Col.  Do you fish the spiders much on the Almond??

How many flies do you tie in an evening roughly, I realise it will depend largely on what they are but in general, and is it much quicker tying a batch of one style???

[Malcolm]

Lovely spiders.

Spent some time last week tying up partridge spiders; purple, orange,red, green on size 16 b160s. Great flies on lochs in the clam fished on the bob with a dry on the tail.

And, prompted by Deergravy's suggestion on the variations thread, a long shank version of Col's palmered Teal and Black. Looks pretty good to me - especially for early season work.   :
