What have you tied today?

[scotfly]

Size 30 !!

Never mind tying a fly in that size - how do you tie it on the cast?

Carefully  :lol:

Actually I've never fished that small yet, don't know if I will. The little ones are tied more for fun! (In a sadistic sort of way)

[scotfly]

A few more, this time sensible ones!

Lovely spiders there Scotfly - sure look like gauranteed fishtakers.

I got a lovely Golden Olive 1/2 cock cape last week, just begging to be used.
The stripped peacock herl was bought at BFFI off the RG France stand, they're 13inches long!  :shock:

I like the light colour of that golden olive hackle Dennis. Some are very dark. Where did you get it?

A lovely fly too.

I've been mucking about for a while with these reversed flies but I cant get them just right. This one is getting there but still lands the wrong way up about 30% of the time.

I got it from Phill Holding at flytyingboutique. Only one he had I'm afraid.
It's a Whiting Golden Olive.

[scotfly]

Malcolm, tie the wing a bit further round the bend, so that it's almost vertical. That should cure your problem.

Received my pheasant tail today... thanks PA!  You might be getting some of it back when I contribute to the fly swap next year... I'm disappointed that I didn't find time to participate this year, but I'm definately coming out to play next time round!
