Mr. Smith

I'm on Instagram too ... my nickname is @oladaniel

The body looks great wet, Are they little mono eyes you've added? Like the look of those.

I'm waiting on some new boxes from Green Caddis outfitters and then I'll spend the off season tying plenty of nymphs, buzzers and skinny wets.

Thanks

The eyes are 1X tippet.

Caddis Pupa, before and after "the water test". Hope you like ém.

I've been tying some small and simple midge emergers and Paraduns this week so far. Hope you like it

 

 

 

 

Those look great

 

Agrees 100%

Yup. I'd also like to add 1 olive hat.

Thanks!

Some caddis larvae och pupa from the vise this week.

In honor to Bob Quigley who recently left us I tied a bunch of Quigley Cripples. The fly on the pic is a variant to use when our largest Mayfly over here in Sweden, Ephemera Danica, is hatching.

Gorgeous dries Mr. Smith (if that is your real name... ), best of luck in the upcoming trip....we'll be expecting lot's of photos to "take us along with you"

Many thanks!

Follow me on Instagram with your smartphone, I will be photoblogging there during my trip (and other trips and fly tying). My nickname on Instagram is @oladaniel

I'm going to my homestream for trout tomorrow. With a bit of luck and sunshine the yellow may flies will start hatching.

Cheer,

Daniel Smith

I like to use André Bruns Polychenille. Very easy and VERY effective. Easy to tie and they float perfectly.

Many thanks for the inspiration! Superb tying. A modern touch of classic tying.

Sign me up for:

1 FTF MLB (Large)

1 Hatches Magazine (Large)

Can't wait

I like them all a bunch. They look like producers for sure.

Many thanks, very kind.

Good flies, what size are your bottom set?

Thanks!

I also use MP's Swiss Vise, and I love it. I own one (12/20) of the Marc Petitjean 20th Anniversary Edition in "gold" with the full pack of accessories. Anyone else here own one of these? Would be cool to know where in the world the 20 vises live.

Cheers from Sweden!

This is my first post after years of lurking

In about a week I'm going on a fly fishing bonanza to the northern parts of Sweden. So this week I've loaded my dry fly box with yellow may flies (duns and emergers). Trout and Grayling beware
