A few tungsten headed 'nimfs'

New size 21 Tiemco 212Y's arrived today - just gave one a try.

Head is a bit scraggy as the fibres on a strand of peacock herl appear very long when tying a fly of this size, look leggy under the thorax but untidy at head.

Hi "Yan"

Scraggy is good, scraggy works, I'm liking the look of all the flies in both your posts!

Cheers

Yan,

Furry boots did you get the tungsten bead that looks like a christmas tree decoration?

I like the Klink too although I'm not sure how you actually managed to tie it on a hook that small!

Cheers

Thanks Mike,

I'm keen to try them as they have a CDC 'collar' which I've not used on nymphs before. Also keen to try the Jig hooks on t' river.

Matt, the bead is a silver, 4mm, multi-faceted tungsten job which was bought 3 years ago from GAC (for JD's Grayling day out) and I just happened across last evening. You like?

Booked a day off agaes ago for the opening day tomorrow....................just cancelled it! much sadness

Fancy spending your day off on rescobie instead 

[Iain Goolager]

Thanks for the invite Kelly but I've already organised for a few things to happen work wise instead of on Friday.

Your a Jonah anyway - I'd probably blank!

A couple of pulling buzzers

those look very nice Baz.  How do you fish those bad boys?

[Barry Robertson]

Put them between a blob and a booby on a 4 flee cats and twitch them back on a midge tip normally works a treat  
Top dropper on a floater would also be a good call with a weighted flee on the point 

[Iain Goolager]

Liking the overall colour scheme on the top one Baz, nice.

 

[Mike Barrio]

Yes, the olive one looks "fishy"

Nice and differant sharon 
Very buggy looking, i have a few ptn's i will stick up later 

[Matt Henderson]

finally heading out to Haddo tomorrow to wet a line with the 3wt.  Very excited.  But a quick scan of my fly box told me that if it was a day for using lures then I was going to have a problem.  Something tells me that a 3wt line isn't going to turn over a extra long shank size six with a tungsten cone.  So i made a few like these

a couple of wooly buggers with 2.8mm tungsten beads which should get them down nicely. 





I also tied a few snatcher sort of thingys. 



And a nice wee spider.  On a size 16, I've no idea how people tie on smaller than that!



fingers crossed I have some luck given the weather forecast!

cheers

Matt
