What have you tied today?

I do like the old faithful loch style traditionals Andy. They give a feeling of confidence, especially when tied as well as those.  :.
Those Sculpin beasts are odds on to get a reaction too  :shock:

I had been planning to tie up some Doobries, my last one got shredded on a certain bog loch. Whilst in sommers in Aberdeen to get some glow-bright floss I came across some orange and pearl flat braid which sparked an idea for a variant:

Standard Doobry:

Nice tying Robbie. Hard to say what one I like best, they're both braw. I often used strips cut from the wrapper from the 'Crunchie' Chocolate bar to replace the standard gold on the Doobry. It was pleasing on the eye but I doubt if the fish were bothered much !

Dug one out of the box. It's well battered and the shine has worn off the plastic wrapper body but you can still see the colour. I always thought it stood out a lot better in peaty water than the standard gold.

Reading one of Bob Wyatt's books right now and having a bit of fun with the DHE and generally monkeying around with deer hair. This isn't one of Bob's but I've got high hopes that it'll do a wee turn when the buzzers are getting picked off. Tied on a size 14 FM Czech Nymph hook, I think it will have a nice 'hang' .

A couple of nymphs I hope to give a swim next month:

I've not tied a fly in months but my mother in law wanted some for her pals husband as part of a gift so got the stuff out he other night. Not knowing where he fishes or what he fishes for I thought I'd do a wee selection of muddlers, thought it would be a safe bet. Did feel a bit rusty at the vice but got there in the end
