Down in Baku at present so I have been making a start on tube flies for next spring. Next week Doubles and then on to trout flies. Bit of a bummer being away for so long but at least I have time to stock up the boxes for next year.

I'm thinking of tying a few flies to while away the hours too Eddie!  Hopefully I'll get interupted as soon as I start  :wink

Cheers

I have been tying lots of tungstan bugs to help me remove rocks and branches from the Isla :)

Top job Eddie.
Glad to see that Baku time is well spent. I have about a dozen flies to tie for Project One Box and I'm good to go.
Oh, that and a new rod/reel/line for the same POB!
The start of the season is a long way away....

Euan,
 I need something to do in the evenings and the weekends, the alternative entertainment could result in divorce so I will stick to tying flies as it is cheaper and safer. It is midnight now and here is the last tube of the day in the vice.

Roll on February.

Tidy fly Eddie.

Rather a lot in the first pic, do you tend to loose a lot or is it fly tyers OCD?  :z4

Maybe a bit of both but some of my mates raid my boxes so I need to have plenty of back up.

Shocking Ed  :z4 I would never do such a thing, so if we ever get out fishing you can leave you fly boxes open  :z4
