A couple of days late in answering this one but here are a couple that I have being tying.  The first is a stonefly pattern to test out additional uses for Klinkhammer hooks and the second is a shrimp pattern that I tied with my 5year old daughter's help.

[Barry Robertson]

A couple of crackers there Mike, well done 

[Mike Livingstone]

Baz,


I notice you tied a pheasant tail nymph in your selection - how do you get on with PTNs?  I personally think they are great and tie them in the American style with a peacock thorax and PT legs.

Guess whose not fishing today

Bloody Kids Fancy getting sick on my first day off without ice I dunno.

Still i was playing at the vice this morning, trying a little trick from rod building to try and make a nice translucent buzzer.
Seeing the flies getting posted with varnished bodies, had me thinking. This is the outcome.
It looks pretty standard but has something i cant quite put my finger on
Its all made of thread too no paint

[Barry Robertson]

Bought some verniards Micro glint thread - the peacock one yesterday so away to try some new var :winkants! This stuff looks awfy posh

[Barry Robertson]

Anyone been tying up anything exciting 
Just away to tie up some cormorants 

[Jay Scott]

Trying to get some cascades done but having a right laugh trying to master the hackles  can't seem to fold them or make them look half presentable without a massive head on the fly  . Fun of the Fair!
