What have you tied today?

They look like they'll do the job nicely Eric, silver invicta for me today, happy with the wing but the heads got away from me a bit  :?

Eric those flies look extremely fishy, can see that first one doing a lot of damage.

Cracking tie there Andy, wing looks perfect. Is that a hackle fibre tail rather than GP topping?

I've got a packet of old yellow cock hackles I use, it's got a good colour and more durable than tippet which I find a bit delicate when fishing and pricey!

Second attempt, gave myself about 2mm extra space for the hackle, amazing the difference it makes. As soon as you start having to wind over the front hackle it's impossible to keep the head size down  :roll:

Thanks guys, just sat at the vice and tied out of my head, nice invicta's Andy haven't tied winged flies for ages.

Must be almost a year since I last tied a fly. Did a fast water hackled version of an Octanaomi, should make it float a touch higher and make it easier to see.

Nice Fred, I really must persevere with them never seem to work for me.

[Robbie]

Very nice Fred.

I'm in a bit of a rut. Think I need to scale back the head on these:

You are turning into a deer hair junkie Robbie. When you start 'muddling' Greenwell's Glories and Grey Dusters you will need to seek professional help and therapy.  :lol:

Now there's an idea!  :worms
