First time at the vice this week and trying out some new blue deer hair, fly number one lochgarry

That looks absolutely beautiful.

Cracker mate love that blue deer hair it goes well with the fly 

[Lochan_load]

Right done this now, quite a busy dressing so tried to keep the muddle to a minimum, was a wee bit harder to keep it the shape I wanted but turned out ok



Ps it's just occurred to me that I'm stealing other peoples patterns so cheers Andy and Andy!

Those flies are works of art.

Another cracker ! Andy,you should call it the Andy's fly  :lol:. That looks a better fly with the blue deer hair on it I think I will be stealing that pattern. Away to the vice to knock a few up lol

Cheers for the comments, love this forum. I must admit I've never fished a blue Zulu but tied this up because I'm running out of ideas for the blue deer hair! Not sure id fish it but anyway....

That sedgehog is superb , best one yet with the blue deer hair .

[Lochan_load]

Cheers, just never felt confident sticking a blue fly on, they must work tho!

[Suki1312]

They say blue is a great colour for sea trout , and am sure the browns would have a nibble at it as well

Wow, have just seen what you have being doing with those rare breed blue deer muddlers Lochan, stunning, my fav is the palmered hopper with the lightly dressed blue head, works of art all!  Hope this thread does not lead to those canny skyline hugging deer becoming even rarer!
Is blue not the most visible colour in water from a trouts' perspective, sure i heard that somewhere?
They say flies are designed to catch the fisherman as much as fish, i am well and truly hooked.

I have being tying bushy bob/ almost dapping flies this last few days, these are the last of them...

I would like to thank this thread for re-kindling my interest in fly-tying, it is an inspiration.
