Red Ant #20.

Willow fly (Oliver Edwards pattern).

When frank sawyer designed his pheasant tail nymph he didn't think legs were important.

Terrific nymph pattern! It reminds me of one of Polly Rosborough's fuzzy nymphs. Great stuff.

Thanks letumgo.

Quality all around.

Thank you.

cdc wonder wing sedge. 14#

mosquito (orvis). 14#

Kate McLaren, Clan chief, Diawlbach & Black pennell are a few more great flies to try.

hope this helps.

Bead baby bugger. 10#

my first Arctic char.

only a stockie though.

I don't know what its for, but if anyone really wants to know ask a company called "future tackle" angling supply's based in Wales.

That's who sells it. Should be Far out tackle supply's..

Merry Christmas all.

Merry Christmas to all & a very happy piscatorial new year....

Pearly minkie #10.

I agree with piker20, I've had a Cortland clear camo intermediate 7# for about 4 years, no problems & It gets used loads!!

Soldier palmer variant.

I've tied up some appetiser variants for fry feeding trout.

The lower part of jungle cock cape feathers make a nicely marked soft hackle

& its using a part of a feather that is usually binned.

ps. If they are a bit leaky put a piece of plain cardboard in the zip lock bag as backing to absorb any oil.

Hi Smelly cat

As long as your capes stay dry there should be no problem, if you have any fat/meat still on the skin just cut it off.

I always put my capes in separate zip seal freezer bags to stop any bugs/moth larvae getting at them.

The whiting variety packs are good but its the luck of the draw I suppose.

Thanks. That is very thoughtful of you, I don't want to be a statistic.

If I am unlucky enough to win the lottery here in the UK it will be in the post.

Hydro. #7

Another method you can try is...

Get a big pickle jar (1.5 litre) & pour in 1/2 a litre of Luke warm water, Don't use hot water it can make the dyes run!!

Throw your dubbing in & shake vigorously for a while.

Drain of the water in a fine sieve & put your dubbing on kitchen towel to dry. Job done.

Thanks

The rib is orange Krystal Flash.
