hope you all like it

hi all

2 more mini tubes for the collection

again tied on 1/2 copper and plastic tubes

this is a gold bodied willie gunn

this for me was a difficult tie as i rolled the bucktail round the tube in 2 bunches

for me its difficult to do on a small tube

not totally pleased with them however thell go into the box as they are a style of fly i expect not to use too often

all the best

john

super

this is an interesting style of fly for me

i wondering how you are going to rig the hook for it?

all the best

john

excellent

yhis is the perfect example of what a spey fly should look like

hope to have a go at thses flies someday

all the best

john

nice fly with nice movement

i like the hook too

all the best

john
