This is the first time i've had the confidence to show some pics of flies i've been tying,only starded tying about a year ago and i've knocked up some great wee flies and took loads of trout,but over the winter i've really got into the Tying side of things.
Really enjoying my tying just now,and the nephew's also bought a kit and started tying Kate's etc (He's only 10)  :

Been on the Olive hatches now. This is not my favourite hatch as its straight after the March Brown Hatch and whilst its is undoubtedly great to be catching fish on the dry this hatch is when the fishing season really begins because the fish begin to get fussy and lock on to specific stages of the hatch.  Its for that reason I use a couple of patterns.

The basics for me are the same no matter what the olive hatch might be. What I focus on are size and the use of yellow thread as my base material. My dubbings are mainly wool as it absorbs water well and a blend of rabbit fur.

For the dun i use a stripped peacock quill which i now cover in a type of bug bond material. ( the cheap version). Other than that i tie lots of cdc versions but where possible use the snowshoe as a wing material although i do find that particular material difficult to handle.

A fly i have also found invaluable is the R2S. In different sizes and colours it is deadly especially when the fish are taking something just beneath the surface.
