I feel a tad embarrassed to post this on a page with proper fleas but i've been steadily tying some Stockie bashing fleas for the winter. I don't normally bother tying, preferring to raid my dad's boxes when the opportunity arises but there are some flies that he just point blank refuses to tie  :z7

Stevie,

you are right a man needs to have some standards, However behind the vice with the tube fly for March the eagle eyed among you will spot some horrible lure thingys amongst the wets for next summer. Roll on March and some spring fishing when I am home on holiday.

Stevie,

just in case you thought that I had gone to the dark side by making a couple of lures for you, here are the new wet flies for 2016.

Pfft I'd argue that some of those wets are merely "gentlemans" lures anyway.

P.s Many thanks for tying them for me though. Would be a shame for such bonnie fleas to not result in decent fish...

Cheers

After tying 170 lures I started to get rather bored looking at them so i've started to play around with some buzzery type patterns.

As Dad pointed out the thorax's on the Seals Fur efforts are quite large but the plan there is to use them ginked up as suspenders. It's been a while since I tied anything this small so please excuse the roughness of them. For the past 4 years i've only been tying for Snakehead and Peacock Bass.

Some  small-ish ones  :z16

My top buzzer pattern for the rainbows. Simple little brassie style flies.



A little baetis nymph for the rivers. Modelled on Dave Wiltshires thread nymph. Again super simple but will no doubt produce!

Nice idea Allan and one that I have thought about. Only thing I don't like is the matte finish of the wire  :z8

I have no room for anymore nymphs now!  :X1

This cool little box from C&F which weighs just 26g will be used as my 2016 Duo/Nymph house. The capacity is perfect and has allowed me to fit 2 small boxes worth into the one.  That's the planning done and the hooks in place (needed to work out OCD spacing and size order).


In time it will be filled mainly with PTNs,  Frenchies and Hares Ears although a couple of others might find their way in.  Those that fish the Duo, what are you using for your indicator/suspender (dry) fly?? Klinks are pissing me off!
