Broughton's point

[wingman]

Thought I'd have a go at some traditionals for a change from some of my more wackier creations. So starting with broughton's point an eloquent and simple but effective wet. I've used a mix of claret and black cock hackles for the throat instead of black and scarlet on the original to match the claret thread, why else. tied on a size 14.

I really hate you now!

That is another stunning fly, have you got an online gallery that can be viewed, Mark?

thanks dartmoor navigator I will take that as a compliment....I think All my photos i put on here are in photobucket, they date back to I think october last year when i started tying again after 30 years break, if you can work out how to get in, or maybe I need to give you a password, not sure how all that works, but your'e welcome to look through them if you know how to get in, mind some of the earlier ones are a bit iffy, photos to.

Mark, unless you've put the photobucket flies in a special gallery you don't need to publicize your password. To gain access to a standard site, all you need is the name of the site, i.e. mine is arkle_photos, to get to it you go to search , then people & enter the site name.

I tied up some "Broughton's" a few years ago, & found there are quite a few variations of it. All have a grey mallard wing though, but body colours are anything from deep claret to pale blue, with either matching or contrasting hackles. A true Lake District pattern, that's proven it's worth many times over.

Thanks arkle, I know how to get into photobucket myself but wasn't sure how other people could get in, my handle is wingman64 so I assume thats all you would need. thanks for the info, my broughton's point uses starling for the wings by the way.

[arkle]

Hi Mark, yes it is or was rather starling for the original, but my customer wanted them on 10's & starling's a bit to small & delicate for that size.

Here yo go Mark, well worth browsing through
