Thanks chirpyaphid most appreciated, starting to play around with the camera a bit more rather than use the auto-mode which is a bit lazy.

Another dryfly

Lovely all of them

Some of my favourite looking flies are dries of which you tye them really well. I hardly ever fish them on the resesvoirs usually fishing emergers or hoppers. I do fish the daddy when they are out, so don't tye dries very often.

Cheers sarg, the rivers where I live are perfect for dryfly fishing and its always my first choice, I actually have a preference for wingless dryflies but I'm going thru a winged phase at the moment.

and another wee one

I need to get my head around the tying of winged dries. These are inspirational.
