YEa was really good IMO. I finally learned what seems to be the best way to tie EP Flies and also a lovely little fry pattern. Also some CRAZY Pike flies.

Great night and good company.

Thanks again to Rob and Ben

[Rob Brownfield]

A pleasure Cameron...and a thanks to Ben again for the venue, organising it all and the 3 strands of crystal flash I borrowed

[Barry Robertson]

Thanks again to Rob & Ben for a very intresting night   
Some cracking flies were tied and lots of ideas are now floating about my head 



 

[Iain Goolager]

Top marks for another excellent evening!

Robs' presentation/ demonstrations on Pike flies were tip top

Bens' SWFF flies were great - and are already being cloned for the Broonies with a desire for the briney

It was also good to put a face to BAZ at last (not the ugliest bloke I've met but I doubt he keeps a mirror in his house! )

Only joking Baz (I'll send you boot info tonight)

Thanks again Kev for the tying stuff.

Roll on the next one

Here's my 1st attempt at the EP Perch Fry - I'm quite happy with it but there are improvements to be made at all the various stages.



I'd tie another tonight but Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone) in 'The Secret Weapon' awaits.

Rob, Hope you approve

No holding you back is there iain 
What 2 colours was that you used 
I will make an attempt tomorrow 
Nice fly 

[Iain Goolager]

Thanks Baz,

EP Fibres are Golden Olive up Top, Gold underneath, Gills - Red & Gill Cover - Orange. There is also a strip of Holo Chromosone Flash (which doesn't show along the lateral line as I tied it in badly ).

The Hook is a size 2/0 Varivas 2600 ST-V

Now I need a rotary drier    blinkin 'eck!

Good Luck

Iain

[Ben Dixon]

Thanks to all who braved the weather and attended, and many thanks to Rob for a superb demonstration on working with EP.  I learned a lot from that.  
Next evening will be "trout streamers, manshit flies for manshit fish".

Cheers

Ben

Hopefully get it finished either today or on sunday as Lochter is now cancelled. I dont have any big eyes tho so will be a photo without them untill I can hit a hobbie shop.

[Rob Brownfield]

Iain,
Spot on mate...love it..will catch fish, no doubt on that!!!

Try tying up the same fly with the same stripes and eyes but with a fluro green top and orange bottom which will give yoiu a "fire tiger" version which is a superb for "dirty" water.

Great fly!

[Iain Goolager]

Thanks Rob,
I'm limited at the moment due to the colours of EP that I have but I'll add Fluorescent Green to my list.

Can't wait to try it and am looking into the materials I need for one of those 2 tone deer hair, zonker strip type poppers.

Should really be tying Salmon flies

I bought a stonefly rotary drier today which added an hour onto my home journey!

I'll be needing it later
