These........



Although I must admit the eyesight is waining - I'll get my excuses in early

[Peter McCallum]

They look bonny, what are you using for a body?

[Mike Barrio]

Nice Iain ...... very nice

Cheers
Mike

[Barry Robertson]

They look good Iain, a few more coats of varnish maybe !
The Monikie troots will be loving them iam sure 
I will post some of my ones later 

[Iain Goolager]

a few more coats of varnish maybe

Yup, to produce a better finish BUT I can't be bottomed! as you can tell by the smeared varnish on the bottom two on the left

Peter, the body is stripped peacock herl and I'm quite impressed as they have turned out ok and (no joke) I've been tying them in poor light so it's been a lottery if the 'segmentation' turns out sastisfactorallaly!

Anyone got any interesting patterns on the go?

Funnilly enough almost identical to your buzzers

[Iain Goolager]

Peter,
   and the pictures are..? where?

[Barry Robertson]

Iain have you done any with collars of tinsel below the thorax yet?

[Iain Goolager]

That'll be a yes then.

[Barry Robertson]

They look like they were stolen out of my box  
Good effort anyway, what sizes of hooks did you go for?

Ell chunky green monster is yet to be given a test swim

But this blue collared buzzer is taking alot of fish the now  

[Iain Goolager]

Nice Collared buzzer - could do with a couple more coats of SH though! 

Hooks I'm currently using are Kamasan B175's in 10's & 12's. My usual B100 & 110's in 12, 14 & 16's are fine for tying the smaller buzzers but I think straight hooks have to be larger for the same size imitation. if that makes sense.

[Mike Barrio]

Have another go at the photos please Baz ..... You forgot to resize them

Cheers
Mike

[Peter McCallum]

Peter,
   and the pictures are..? where?

An irish cormorant with stripped herl body


A stripped herl bodied buzzer - like yours Iain


And a Davy McPhail Blue buzzer - I think the light got to the biots coz they're actually blue not white with a blue edge.

And I missed a bit of the end of the body with the varnish   Good thing it's only for trout

[Iain Goolager]

Peter,
Is it Artifly Electric Blue biots? If so it could be a dying issue as I've the same problem with mine.

Nice flies though - like the Irish Cormorant.............back to the bench

Iain

Now posting pics is a tad easier it looks like this page will be getting pebble dashed with images!
Nice flies peter
