What have you tied today?

[Suki1312]

Some smashing tying getting showed just now , right i'm away to the local shop before it closes . Time to get the finger out and get the fly swap flees underway ....... :

Some lovely flees on here. I particularly like that sedgehog. Have tied a few but find that mine tend to lie on their side in the water. Perhaps I need to dub in more of a body.
Have a recent camera but damned if I can get it to focus onto anything smaller than a small tin of Vaseline. Don't ask! Otherwise I would put some flees up. Have to go and dig out the old Pentax K1000 and close up lenses. If the wife has not got rid of them.

Cheers folks, Len try using a bit less deer hair and when your tying it in hold it really firm, the thread tends to pull the hair round the back of the fly, if you keep the wing central to the hook shank it should sit straight, hope that makes sense!

Thanks for that Lochan Lad. Miserable day outside so probably go and set up the vice now and have another go at some sedge hogs.

Bloody hell! this thread has been busy since my last visit! :shock:

Anyway, a rather rare thing for me today- a Saturday off. So I've been busy and made a start on a box of foamy things.
