A simple fly!

[Old Jock]

A Pennel Variant...... Tied this tonight whilst listening to the Hearts game on the radio. Must have been influenced by the Edinburgh club's colours.

Orange tippets
maroon/claret peacock body
Silver tinsel rib

Beautiful,

listen to a celtic game and lets see what you come up with next time!!!!!!

Lovely fly. Have used black ostrich with some success on Mevin. Think that claret hackle is just right.
See that lot of nonsense "how does he get away with it" well your fly is the answer to all that
Happy Christmas and peace to all anglers north or south of the Watford Gap

Nice Jock,

This is the style wet fly I tie here (for trout & char) long hackles and most are dark. Usually my hackles are longer sort of Spey style because I'm looking to imitate a fish fry.

Nice tie
I also love the blog just not the fly background frames

Nice fly there Old Jock.

Nice fly Jock, very nice indeed. I'm sure that would go down very well on a nice breezy day on Corrib.

I can see how listening to a Hearts game on the radio would drive you to distraction Jock.Nevertheless a nice Mallard and Claret'y look to it and I'd be happy to put one of those on my cast if I was after the broonies.

nice tying Alan. the claret pennel used to catch me a few on carron dam.
