What have you tied today?

[Clan Chief]

Yeah tied it in that style but not the exact materials

Another beetle pattern, beetle juice hopper. Basically a half hog hopper. Quite a lot going on so the hardest part is keeping it neat and the head size proportionate. Another davie macphail pattern, these are 10's 12's and 14's

I do like those! Superb tying too! Sure to attract the troots attention!

Cheers. Won't lie Allan they're a bit of a pain in the arse to tie but they look good when they're done. The back half is peacock herl with a strip of peacock tinsel, good colour match for a beetle

Looks well effective great colour cobination and as you say very beetle like!

This is very similar to what I have using  from August onwards. Two on a cast 5 ft appart. Body of black with a peacock rib so a sort of black Shipman's then black deer and black legs. Worked well !!

Cracking flies Andy.

Cheers  Vaughan this dressing is a bit over complicated tbh was thinking it would be just as gold tied as you describe or with the back half just peacock tinsel, effect would be the same, I just do what I'm told though  :lol:

The famous advice ... If in doubt, use something smallish and black.... !!
