A few for salty trout

[weight_forward]

It's been a while since I've posted anything and as I had some time to myself I thought I'd get the camera out.

I've been tying up a few for a sea trout box; there just variations on a theme really;

A hares ear muddler with a bit of blue in it;


A dabblerised teal blue and silver, the cynical would say it's just a way of avoiding teal wings - the cynics would be dead right!!!


A little cascade double;


Finally a bit of self indulgance, I saw some Don Bastian flies a while ago so thought I'd have a go in that style, the wings too long and the tails a bit mashed but apart from that I'm pleased with it;



Any comments gratefully received - Steve

All very nice ,but your dabbler is a masterful piece of work

[humungus]

All excellent i also like the dabbler would pick up a sea trout or too

The easily impressed would say 'That's a cracker, Steve'

WTF?

Nice work Steve, and nice shots too

Cheers gents, I'm trying to skinny down my dabblers and to me they look better - more middle dropper worthy as well.

Shouldn't you be somewhere north getting eaten by midges? You'll regret not having one in your box if the goings difficult up Orkney, I reckon it could be an alternative to the whiskey fly, mark my words!!!!

Very nice indeed, that last one reminds me of a colonel fuller (a north american fly) but with reverse colours, spot on tying.

A cynic is what an idealist calls a realist. Great tyings there.

Great flies, number four is simply stunning

I think they are all very nice and very well tied.
