Hi Everyone, I saw that there was a thread about the klinkhamer, this is one of the variants of Klinkhamer which is catching just now here in Scotland, so I thought you may find it interesting. The fly is representing the Heather fly, which is a terrestrial. All the best Davie

Hi Damian, I would love a go, Free Style Davie

Hi Damian, Flies on their way, I have also enclosed the Dvd I sent to Speyh20 in which I tyed the Akroyd for you to have a look. Hope you like. All the best Davie

Hi Damian, I see I can't count, but if you don,t mind I will send you 15 spey's and if any of the members would like to offer a donation for the fly to help in the running cost of the forum I think this would be a great idea. What do you think? Davie

Hi Damian, I'm happy,, 15 Spey's will make a great fly box Davie.

Hi Damian, Many thanks for the invite, I will fish everyones flies and don't worry you will hear me from here when I catch a salmon on them. Out of interest Damian my son played ice hockey over in your bonnie Canada, the team he played with were called the Okanagan Cancucks AAA.. Shag even if I don't fish the spey I will certainly give them a christening here in Scotland. Davie

Hi CapeBsalar, I wouldn't mind a go but as I haven't done a swap before, you will have to keep me right. Davie P.s I live in Scotland is that o.k for the swap

Hi Gilly , If you ever come over to Scotland and once you have had a few Whisky's you will soon get the accent. Davie

Hi Stack, The fly sits well as long as the wing is the full length of the hook which helps to turn the fly. Another way is to tye the body of the fly round the bend of the hook which forces the hook to turn over this style is better when the duns are hatching as it gives an impression of the dun stuck in the surface film.

Hi Everyone, I was asked to design a fly for a gentleman called Wilfie Steele and as the poem will describe how it got its name. P.S. It is written in the Scottish accent. Davie. WILFIES DOUBLE TRIPLE Wilfie's ower for surgery, He needs some special carin' Tae keep him fit and able Tae catch fishes in Lough Erne. This is no the first time That Wilfie's had his trouble. He's been through it once before So this is Wilfie's Double. Hoo'iver that's no accurate An' could maybe cause a ripple, Since the operation carried oot Is ca'ed a bypass triple. Since drink is banned we've had this flee Tied in shades o' Irish tipple May it gie ye fun an' catch ye fish, Wilfie's Double Triple.

Hi Everyone I hope you like the fly as it's easy to tye and colour anyway you would need to represent nymphs or bugs. I normally fish this pattern for Grayling here in Scotland. All the best Davie

Hi JonnyR, I like the Mighty Duck fly brilliant. Davie

Hi JonnyR.. Put me down for the first jar of honey.. Great fly wonderful photos. All the best Davie

Hi Folks, I'm glad you liked the fly and the photos. The digital camera I use is a Fuji FinePix S602 Zoom which can take up to a 6million pixel photo.The photos of the Yellow May are only 1million pixel. The best way to take any reasonable photo is to use a tripod and as well as good lighting, you will not get a clear picture holding the camera by hand and when taking a close up on the macro setting you must be at the right distance as recommended in your instruction booklet. I hope this helps a little Davie P.S There is a new model of my camera on the market......

Hi Big Fish, I have put a snowshoe rabbit pattern of mine with a detached etha foam body on the database thread for you to have a look as well as everyone. I hope this what you were looking for. Davie
