Coloured tails

So last night I finally got back on the vice after what is probably a year off. I thought I had better re-stock before the season starts.

I thought I would start off with some flies with coloured tails.

The one with the peachy/orange tails had a blue team hackle up front - as i bought about 8 packs of coloured teal years ago and have never used it. I think it has potential ?

That pink tailed 'Kate Ordie' certainly worked well for me - even on the reservoirs as a middle dropper.
I've still got a couple and will be showing then to the lead tyer's at our next tying club meeting.

Always happy to do you some more Terry. I've been doing a few variants too.....

Never tried one, but I'll maybe have to change that....

The Camasunary Killer is the ultimate coloured-tail fly for me

Nice! The dyed teal looks like it will give plenty movement, I like that colour combination.

If you'd like any let me know. I've got purple, yellow, chartreuse,red, blue and brown (I think !)
