A few recent ties

Here's a couple from the vice recently.

A bit of an experiment muddler, I've always done well with black and green;



And a few dabblers for a change;

Golden Olive


Sooty Olive


Any comments greatfully received.

Its not just the excellent tying Steve,you also have some excellent shades and blends of colour going on.The G.O looks particular vibrant and fishy...
What is the hint of chartreuse peeping through at the shoulder of the muddler...?

I tie it in loose, then fiddle about with it until it looks right, then tighten down. Then realise that it's twisted as I tightened it so have to start again.

Most of the gear is from Artifly Jimmy he does tie some cracking shades. The GO dabbler has a hot olive palmered hackle which gives it a bit of a lift IMHO.The chartreuse highlight is a few turns of that Tri-Lobal stuff from Veniards.
