What have you tied today?

[Lochan_load]

Its a great thread, great for some inspiration like those Islay olives which are stunning. I like gold and orange flies on the point but those would be a great bob

not tied today but one I have had success with.

Ian, you should post yon great gaudy yellow beast you gave me at Loch Beanie. It takes a fish or three.    :lol:

[ianthedon]

not really classy enough for Ian, but not a bad little haul for under a tenner:

[corsican dave]

Good Job Dave. Nice colour scheme too.

[Wildfisher]

That looks great Dave. How does it hold its shape when in the water?

[rannoch raider]

What brand of fibre did you use for that one Dave ?

[corsican dave]

all credit has to go to Martin Smith of mscustom flies for this one. it's a leap of faith to believe that the fibre will be held in place by a few wraps of thread in front; but it is. here's Martin's video which tells you everything you need to know. drop him a line if you find it useful
