What have you tied today?

[sewin007]

On size 16 and larger flies I like to wind a couple of turns of cdc tyed in by the tips , gives a good bit of movement to nymphs which in general dont have much movement.

First post in this section so dont be too hard on me.

I am heading up to Scourie in a couple of weeks and thought I would have a go at a detached body for either a mayfly or a daddy. I have flattened the hackle on this one so that it sits in the water rather than on it like a drowned flee.

First effort and it needs a few tweeks.

Nothing wrong with that other than the head being too long for me.

I was interested to read in Fred's latest report that his Naomi pattern is his first fly of choice for lochans these days. I decided to have a go at tying something similar to Fred's favourite super model  . You will note that this version is missing a sight post. This particular model is a size 12. Which is fat for a super model. Do you just fish these static Fred?

Mainly static, but do give them a slight movement sometimes.
