What have you tied today?

[Bobfly]

It sets it off really well I reckon. Looks like a nice colour combination to me.

I'll definately be tying up a few and variants, I reckon a silver mirage  tinsel rib would be decent instead of the red floss, blue hackle?? Possibilities!

Olive Dun.  A no nonsense 2 minute tying.

Olive grizzle hackle, olive thread, yellow Aero Wing yarn. No pointless biots,  no fragile quill, no dubbing, not even any head cement! If you loose it in a tree, it's no big deal.

These are the kind of flies that catch most of my fish.  I'd tie a dozen in 12, 14 and 16 - give some of them a dun Aero Wing yarn wing and a ginger hackle. I'd trim some of them flush underneath - it's then functionally a parachute fly and a decent spinner pattern.

Flies really don't have to be complicated

It don't get better than easy flies to tie that work Fred . My kind of fly.

Fred could you recommend me (and everyone else) a bob wyatt book to have a look at?

[Wildfisher]

I'd buy  "What Trout Want: The Educated Trout and Other Myths"  it's an epic work. 

http://www.amazon.co.uk/What-Trout-Want-Educated-Other/dp/081171179X

For the flies he has 2 DVD's  "Flies That Catch Fish" This is an example from one of them

Fred could you recommend me (and everyone else) a bob wyatt book to have a look at?

I think he's only written two as far as I know - the one Fred mentions and Trout Hunting. I'd buy them both; trout hunting has the bit in it about fishing a certain wee river in a spate :wink:

Cheers I'll have a look tomorrow. If there's any more info like that it should be worth the money 

[Lochan_load]

I've bought what trout want but trout hunters seems to be a bit of a collectors item and the cheapest I could find it was £40  :shock:
Before bob puts me off wet flies forever here's that blue and silver goat I was talking about
