Reading this months Trout and Salmon and saw the following website mentioned under the materials review section and thought of this Loch Style flies discussion

https://www.robdenson.co.uk/

Some lovely looking colours for the deer hair and the flies they are selling look good as well, at a decent price.

The website isn’t the best but it’s easy enough to navigate.

inspired my this thread i remembered that years ago i did really well on the west coast lochs with a loch ordie ( which i think i bought from a fish tackle show in Ft William) - so i thought i would tie one.

I also found some flies on the shetland anglers association website that had some loch ordie variants so i tied one of those as well. I think i'll tie some more.

They would probably be better tied with the proper materials but i'm just making use of what i have - ginger cock hackles and the tips of white schapplen feathers

Some fantastic responses , so many thanks everyone 

I’ve loads of ideas now, mind you,  how I keep it down to less than 10 patterns like my river box I’m not sure. 

Will be fun working it out. Still building rods for now so the vice is on the back burner. Especially as it has been deemed gardening season as I can’t run away down the river and I’m a captive workforce

saw a fly called a 'Storm Crow' in a T&S magazine, so thought i would copy it.

Many thanks to Fred Hay for the partridge feathers

Nice one, nice tie, Derek Roxborough

[Fred Hay]

Nice looking fly James - glad you're managing to get some use of the feathers.
Hope this one catches a few fish for you.

Nice one Steven

Did we ever see Sandy's Loch Style Fly Box  ...... I don't think we did.

[Steven Sinclair]

Whilst not a traditional pattern by any means. I've been playing around with the idea of taking flies from the "stockie bashing" world into my loch style arsenal. I give to you my (s)Kate mclaren 

The thought behind it is to have a big bushy fab as my Bob flea in katey colours that will wake/push a hell of a lot of water.

I guess I'll let the broonies be the judge
