Tying season 2017/18

Hi guys  :z16

I’ve been quiet but still lurking for a while now. Thought I’d get one of these going again over the close season. Last years one got lots of interest and generated some good debates.

Nothing new from me I’m afraid just a revised selection from last season. So here is the nymph side of the box.

That's an impressive set of nymphs, looks like you've been busy!

Here's one from yesterday, a detached body olive:

I did have a bit of a play at a Spanish wet fly or two Liam, but they didn't turn out anywhere near as nice as the ones that I showed you the other day :oops

The basic shape is not too bad, but an awful lot more practice is required methinks :z4

Liam,

What's your verdict on the UV resin coated PTN? 

When the UV resin hit the market and then subsequent improved versions, I experimented with putting it on a wide range of flies, including PTN.   Haven't found any convincing results for it on traditional flies such as PTN so I don't use it anymore on those.  I still do use it for Perdigon styles and a couple of others.

Cheers,

Bryan

Hey Bryan

I tied a few and tried them. They lasted slightly longer than the regular ones but really weren’t worth the hassle. I only use UV resin for my ceramics now.

Liam,

OK, thanks.

BTW, I tried making ceramic nymphs a couple of years ago and mine never looked as good as yours.  I really didn't fish them enough to give them a good test.  I certainly know from reading that others get darn good results with them at times.

Cheers,
Bryan
