What have you tied today?

[Robbie]

Grouse Ordie, simple tie but not quick and very feather hungry.

I've never seen one of those in the flesh ! You going to the Shetlands Robbie ?

Had never heard of that Robbie, I like it. Looks labour intensive and you'd want to know someone that shoots if you were doing a few!

Is that not just a grouse tied onto a hook :lol:

[Wildfisher]

i'd certainly vouch for it for barbel & carp  :

I believe it was originally designed for grayling Dave, but it is so non specific I would expect it would work for any fish. They look really good when wet. I really like simple patterns.

Just about!

No plans to head for Shetland (we must have visited the same website), hoping the tout won't know which Island they are on  :lol:

I came across the fly on the following website, quite a few nice patterns on there that I might have to give a throw.

Not my idea, something i picked up from another forum, called "  :8)upstream nymph"

[Lochan_load]

Very tidy!

We should change the name of this thread to 'what nymph have you tied today'  :lol:
