Flamethrower I had good success with this fly this year mainly when the river had a bit of a peaty colour

Materials
Thread blak tying thread
Hook Salar silver this one is a sz 9
Feather Orange and Yellow schlappen
fine oval tinsel
Jungle C
pearly tinsel
Wing orange goat hair
Crystal hair


Catch in thread and tie in oval tinsel and holographic tinsel


Wind up the holo tinsel about half way up the hook and tie off. Tie a tag (2 turns) and rib with the oval tinsel and tie off. You can varnish the tinsel if you wish.


Select an orange schlappen feather, the hackle to extend past the bend of the hook. Tie in an ad 2-3 turns of hackle, brushing the hackle back as you turn.


Add 2 - 4 strands of crystal hair and tie in the goat hair and using the black thread build a small tapered body


Tie in another orange schlappen feather and add two turns of hackle brushing the hackle fibres back as previous. The hackle length to reach  the gape of the hook.


Tie in a yellow Schlappen hackle and add two turns.


Tie in JC cheeks and a couple of pearly tinsel strands


Build a head with the pearly tinsel I find using a couple of strands and twisting them together gives a stronger thread to build and whip finish the head. To help build the head you can apply varnish or super glue before building the head. This make the base sticky and helps keep the tinsel in place.


Varnish the head.

Sherry Spinner

Hook:      #12 Partridge SLD
Thread:      Light Brown Sheer
Tails:      Red Brown Microfibetts ™
Tag:      Fl. Green Ultra Thread
Body:      Rusty Spinner Turkey Biots
Wing:      Grey Dun Aerowing   
Thorax:      Orange Possum Dubbing
Wing Cover:   Fl. Orange Aerowing

Place hook in vise, wax thread and wind on in touching turns to a point opposite the hook point.




Select 3 microfibetts and lay flat along the hook shank. Catch in the microfibbets and tie down to in touching ‘flat’ turns to a point just before the hook bend. 
Macro photography is better than old eyes – the fourth fibett was removed – tut!



Push up the fibetts with a thumbnail which will splay them. Lock the two outer fibetts in this splayed position with a couple of dissecting wraps of thread.



Wind the thread up the hook shank, in flat wraps, to the point where the thorax will begin. Trim tag ends.



Tie in a section of Fl. Green Thread and form an egg sack tag at the base of the tails. Wind the tying thread back up the hook shank forming a smooth under body.



Select a turkey biot, tie in and secure along the hook shank to a point adjacent to the green butt section. Run the tying thread back up to the thorax area.



Wind the biot up the shank in open turns to the thorax area, bind down and trim tag.




Tie in a section of wing cover, not seen from above so I’ve opted for a Hi Viz orange.



Tie in the wing material and bind down with a figure of eight pattern. Don’t let the wing creep towards the eye as there is a bit of work still to be done at the eye.  A single ‘post wrap’ under the wing helps to keep the wing slightly above the centre line of the fly in the water.



Dub a rope of orange possum and cover the thorax area of the fly, again using a figure of eight pattern.



Bring the wing cover forwards and secure behind the eye. Trim the wing cover and finish off the head.




Again it’s a general pattern which can be adapted using different sizes, colours, tail material and lengths.

Ok a bit of a rushed job but here is my effort for this month.
A grayling bug initially but has taken wild browns and Rainbows also, quite a versatile wee nymph pattern   :wink

Materials used
Hook - size 14 B110 Kamasan
Thread - UTC 70 fire orange
2mm hot orange brass bead
Natural peacock herl - stripped down to quill
Natural pheasant tail
Peacock ice dub

Slide bead onto hook and place hook into vice.

Start thread behing the bead and secure bead in place by putting in a few turns.

Catch in 5 strands of Natural pheasant tail.

Trim off waste pheasant tail.

Catch in one strand of stripped natural peacock herl.

Trim of waste and run thread up to behind bead ensuring to leave as smooth a body of thread as possible for the stripped quill to sit on.

Rib the quill up the hook in open turns to give a segmented look.

Secure quill in place with thread and remove excess quill.

Take a small amount of peacock ice dub and dubb behind the bead.

Whip finnish and add some varnish to the head and jobs complete.


Tightlines
