retrocarp 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2019 The flies pictures look great, Retro. But what is that nasty looking thing you've got them hooked on? It looks like a rotten, old pipe bowl.Thanks Mike Not a pipe bowl but a genuine Aussie Gum nut lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

olive_dabbler 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2019 Hook: Tiemco TMC 9300 #10-12Tail: Golden Pheasant tippetRib: Oval silver tinselBody: Rear red, front black, seals furBody hackle: Furnace henWing: Fox squirrelHackle: Furnace henThread: Danville 6/0 black First post here! Striving to improve my fly tying, so I can take on more ambitious projects - using close up photos of my efforts to reveal all my mistakes. This is a pattern inspired by Rob Denson’s Red Arrow cruncher. Tied on a slightly lighter hook and with the hairwing for some added buoyancy. Not actually planned any trips as yet to lochs or loughs, but have the feeling this is a pattern well suited as a bob fly for wild browns. Thanks for looking.
