Evening fellas.

I am needing some inspiration for a fly swap I have entered.  I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew this time.  

I would like to tie something that will fish well on the Clyde.

If anyone has any ideas (preferably with pictures) I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in anticipation.

Clyde style Teal & Black is one of my favourite flies. There may be a SBS somewhewre here, if not I'll try to do one

[John Reid]

Sorry Peter, I didn't explain the brief very well in the post.

It is a wooly bugger I have to tie, however, I would love to see an SBS of the Teal and Black. 

PS  I have a few of the tubes you were looking for to see if they are the right thing.  PM me your address and I will send them to you.

Hi John,

Good to see you're surviving in the wild west  

How about this one for a woolly bugger?



Orange hot cone
Body of Orvis wolly bugger chenille
Tail of black marabou
Palmered hackle, black, from whiting woolly bugger pack or palmer patch or something similar
rib, 18lb mono.
hook #4 4x long shank, Orvis 8808 or similar.

CHeers

Cool, If you can get a copy of 'Lets Fish the Clyde' by Bert Sharp it has a good selection of clyde flies. I'l do a step by step asap for you.

Thanks Gents.

Thats exactly the kind of thing I am looking for Ben. 

I am looking forward to the SBS Peter. I think that book is like hobby horse droppings

I think that book is like hobby horse droppings 

If you're patient you can get them , or go to coch-y-bondhu if you have a bit of spare cash . A blast from the past for me I must have worn out the East Kilbride library's copy in the early 70's myself.

Here is my attempt at a Wooly Bugger (thanks for sending the materials Ben ).  I am looking forward to throwing them at some trout on the Clyde next Friday.

[Peter McCallum]

Nice Flies John. 

One problem there may be is the poor clyde trout may think they're just weegie neds flinging things at them and they'll head for the nearest bolt hole

Saying that they're probably used to that

[Noel Kelly]

They look good John Hope you get plenty of action.

[Barry Robertson]

Nice flies John, let us know hopw you get on with them

That's the shit I'm talking about     

Just saw the pics, nice flies.  You had anything on them yet?

Ben

[John Reid]

Not tried them yet mate.  Hopefully going to get a blast with them this afternoon.   

[Iain Goolager]

Hi John, or shoul I say Satan?! I always had you down as an easy target for the forum members from the dark side.
Nice ties though, let us know how you get on.
