Thats me just got round to starting mine. Have rattled off five today and will do the rest this week.

Did my flies arrive today Matt 

[Matt Henderson]

Not yet Baz. However Sandy's did. Will get some pictures up later on.

[Matt Henderson]

So after todays post that means four sets of flies so far.  You've already got pictures of Alex's excellent blood worms and Sandy's shrimps.  So these arrived over the last fewy days sadly my photography doesn't do them justice. 

GRHE diawl bachs



and Kevlard's pearly pennels



I'm nearly finished mine two to go.  Baz's are in the post.  So get busy everybody!

and Kevlard's pearly pennels



A bit of a variation on the pearly pennel I usually tie them with a hen hackle but this one has crow for the hackle and a turn of orange dubbing for a thorax.   The rest of the materials are golden pheasant for the tail, pearly tinsel for the body with a silver wire rib. as the body can be a bit fragile i run a fine layer of superglue along the body before applying the tinsel and then a coat of 60 second nail varnish before applying the rib. The hackle is perhaps bordering on the long side but I dont think it will stop the trout. These variations are the first I have tied but I have fished pearly pennels with a variety of retrieves, deep and sub surface and they have always taken fish. Look forward to seeing the rest of the tyings

Still no sign Matt  ???

[Matt Henderson]

[Paul Rankine]

Hi,
      I think someone has pinched Baz,s flies and is taking piccies of them with my camera 
Paul.

[Paul Garrigan]

Ten of these on the way.....

I am still struggling with taking pics of flies. This took me about 20 attempts and you still cant see the body!!!

Nip outside and take a photo in the natural light 

[Sandy Nelson]

Would agree with that

since I put my vice in a our back room which has fantastic natural light
the photos are really good. All the SBS photos I've taken since Christmas have been
with natural light only
mind you the light here is lovely for photos some of the outside stuff comes out
amazing
