What have you tied today?

[Lochan_load]

Your flies look good mate, bottom one is my favourite. Same for me with this thread tying more than ever and got some great ideas for patterns and materials, I'll send that hopper up to you as part of the half dozen

[Clan Chief]

Inspired by the blue talk stuff. I tied this this morning. I think this could be enhanced with some JC cheeks will tie one later ans get a pic up. Im off out just now

Like that, nice tie as well, think I've got the globrite for the tail so consider it nicked!

[Clan Chief]

Body is dark blue SLF ribbed with blue ultra wire.

First attempt at a pike fly, very time consuming and heavy on the materials, bit more industrial than the usual flies I tie but supposed to be very effective.....

[sewin007]

That will catch, no problem, but do yourself a favour and debarb because you dont want to be footering about trying to get the hook out ( best to debarb before you tye, just incase tbe hook breaks!).

[Lochan_load]

I'll be debarbing mate, if it breaks I'll greet!!
This is basically a copy of a fulling mill pattern, got a version in mind with Perch colours, I'll get it up soon

[Clan Chief]

My JC efforts weren't worth showing. Here's one I was happy with . Ive had success with pink tail flees in the past at Loch Watten in particular.

Like that cc, really nice.

My effort at a flashy perch imitation, think it needs some of those fancy glass eyes but that's probably just polish because I think it's the silver flash that gets the pike going

[Fishtales]

Your Pike flies look the part but appear a bit heavy.

Have you seen these tying sites for some ideas.
