hi all

the next fly for hairwing box

i tied this for the first time this summer

it got me my first fish of the season off my local river

it is tied on a size 10 low water silver double

it was also on this size that my brother lost a big fish in russia this summer ( he had 2 15lbers and this one was a lot bigger- unluckly to be using small fly at the time)

i am going to tie this also in orange and gold

anyway hope you all like it

all the best

Yellow & Silver Thunderflash

hi all

another one for the hair wing box

this i belive was first tied by warren duncan

when deciding on a green fly for the box i flipped a coin between this and another fly called galway green.

no point in having 2 green flies of same construction in the box

its tied on a size 6 not sure type of hook

hope you all like it

all the best
