What have you tied today?

[Clansman]

Nice Flees there Davy and ClanChief

[Clan Chief]

McLaren's Ghost..........

[Tweed]

Nice stuff guys.  Loving those nymphs especially Davy - the last batch as well.  Might be the target of my next act of plagiarism  :.

Best do some all black streamers as well Fred - even old Suzie up a bit, else you'll end up with one patchy collie  

My latest klink attempt attached.  Not sure if these are getting better or worse, enjoying doing something new though . . . .

Nothing wrong with that Tweed. Nicely proportioned all round and well tied.  :

After reading the positive comments on here I went and spent ?20 to get a new lamp at Maplins and I must say I'm very pleased with it.http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=47980

Particularly like the caenis Scotfly.  I get muscle strain in my eyes just thinking about a #32! 

[Clan Chief]

Absolute beauties and certain to fool wild troot  :applause

[scotfly]

Nowt wrong with them Exerod. They're "proper" flies tied well for fishing with, which I'm sure they'll excel at.  :

[Black-Don]

Loadsa Crackin' flees on this page. Re. the Suzie it seems a lot of folk are going for these clouser type patterns tied upside down, clever.  :wink:

Liked the wee goldheads Davy, very neat. The Maplins light is a great bit of kit for the money Scotfly, got one meself.

I think the claret and blue will work well exerod, planning something along the same lines meself, maybe with quite a bit of silver and a red throat hackle in mine  though.  :wink:

[Black-Don]

Nice tyings. I think the top one could end up more succesful than folk might initially think.

[Clansman]

Excellent tyings there exerod, I especially like the Red Hackled one
