Some lovely looking flies been appearing of late.  :
I've not had much time for tying of late, but since some of my more successful dries this season were getting low, I thought it was time to catch up a little!
Beginning with some iwi's..
Top right is tied on the Partridge Klinkhamer Extreme 15BNX, a hook I'm becoming very fond of.

Tied up these mega balloon caddis tonight.My intention was to tie them mainly for use as a very visible indicator fly when fishing NZ style, but I reckon they'll also take trout when fished just as big dries. The body and wing are mcflylon,so combined with the foam they should be unsinkable.

Cheers Col,
Lakeland Fly Tying have all colours of McFlylon in stock just now.

Those should float like corks Paul and I'm sure they will take fish.  As fluttering sedge imitations they should do fine.

On a mid-season fly-tying roll at the moment.

Enjoying tying with foam,it's nice and easy to use. Mega Beetles tonight:

Also tied some wire spider, nymphy things. Very Col-esque I think

Attempted some prince nymphs too, but I need some more practice at them.

I'm using evazote sheets Col. I followed .D. 's tying sequence and sliced a wee layer off as they are a bit too thick to begin with.
Can't wait to get out on a burn or loch and see what the trout think of them.Roll on the weekend!
cheers

Any variety packs of foam I've bought have been shite Col. The foam has been pretty compact and not floated well.
I know I sound like an advert for them, but Lakeland Flytying sell sheets of Rainy's evazote for ?1.20, so it's not too expensive to get a few different colours,they have really fast delivery too.I have no affiliation to this company!
cheers
