The deergravy endorsement  :shock: Now i'm happy!

Off to finish off the nymph i'm playing with then into some dirty pollies....

Scott, the Dirty Polly (upright wing version) is a dead easy tie if you get the wing tied in right - three tight wraps round the middle of the yarn, then pull the ends up and wrap tightly around them to bring the ends together.
Take care to keep the wing dead straight/vertical  and also to clip the hackle so it's symmetrical.

Hopefully the pics will show what I mean.

size 12 and 14 flexifloss nymphs.These have a few wraps of lead under the thorax to take them down a bit.When wet they could mistaken for most nymphy, stoneclinger type beasties. These are my current choice for hanging under a klink.

Thanks Dave - see what you mean perfectly! Also a nice simple tie, brilliant!  Will be tying up a few tomorrow, was on nymphs again tonight. Got your hooks to get to you as well, my exams mean no fishing for me just now though 

Paul - they look very good!

No probs M8. It was supposed to be a beadhead cruncher variant but should really use a hen furnace hackle and wouldn't have a wing case or gold bead in order to be a cruncher but then again, I suppose that's what makes it a variant.  :roll:

Hook B170 size 10
Red Uni thread 8/0
Tail Hen Pheasant
Boby red UTC wire
Thorax peacock herl / wing case Hen pheasant
Head hackle Furnace Cock ( Metz )
Gold head Bead.
