Whilst I wait for a tube fly vice

...... so I got bored tying conventional stuff as I wanted to tie tubes up.
I got to thinking that I'd be as well tying something large. So I did.


It's a monster but I kind of like it and, water allowing, I am going to fish with it  :wink
Not my best effort, but I've not tied in a long time - it's good to be back :grin A few other of today's efforts lying on the table behind.

H :cool:

One of my most successful salmon flies years ago was the Purple Ally's, so no reason why something similar in pink shouldn't be very productive :cool: Ian Masson in Turriff used to tie the purple ones.

I do recall one of the southern Orvis guides writing a piece in FF & FT mag about Pink and predatory fish. He was on a Thames weir pool knocking out big Pike on a nice pink baitfish. Also had a large Brwon Trout is I remember rightly.
