What have you tied today?

[bibio1]

I thought I'd tie an imitation of a LDO coz I have not seen any this year, missing them dearly.  Some great flees on this thread.

cheers

Crackin' flees Scott, well done.  :

That's a nice flee Paul. Is it Ostrich you've used for the body ?

[bibio1]

When I can get some I use heron herl and dye it yellow. It really is good and goes a lovely olive colour when wet.

Cheers guys  Tied 10 more on a size 16 this time - just gotta hope I catch something now!

And yes Paul that is a nice fly indeed!

Nice flies folks.
You make me sick Scott, I've been tying flies for a couple of years and still haven't reached that standard of consistency.Is there anything you're shite at?
They look like fish catchers for sure, let's get out and see what the fish think of them soon.
cheers

Here's some of the flies I tied up for a saltwater trip,

Very nice John, really like the ones in the last pic.

What is the reasoning behind started the wing half way down the shank on some?

[River Chatter]

Those ones are for Tarpon, which have really abrasive jaws that can work through nylon really quickly.  So this style, coupled with heavy nylon shock tippets, helps bring them to hand.

Those DHEs are pretty much bang-on, Scott :applause

Klinks and dirty pollies next!
