Just the ticket for these Pike filled highland lochs Dave. What sort of length is on them ?

these are on a relatively conservative #4. that's 4, not 4/0. should be ideal for pretty much anything that swims, including early season brownies, carp & barbel. very easy tie. mostly a wrap of white cactus chenille and some marker pen

That's the first flies I've tied in about 4 years. I had a few practice runs and found I had a tendency to overdress them, really easy when using the synthetic fibres.

Spot on Robert. Very nicely done.

Hi Ian, The tying is pretty simple really.......

Hook is a partridge saltwater shrimp 6 or 8. I've also added a few strands of lead wire tied along the bottom of the hook shank rather than wrapped around.
Feelers are tan supreme hair with two or three strands of light pink / green pearl gliss and glo.
Mouth part is speckled brown partridge.
Eyes are 'easy eyes'.
Body is Polar Dub, light tan.
The legs are a synthetic material called Pseudo Hackle in light brown olive. This is also what provides the rib effect.
Finish by giving the entire fly a 'comb' with your dubbing brush.

Cool - thanks for that Rannoch, will give it a shot,
Cheers,
Ian
