Cracking picture Kevin.

I like the tying as well - I've never used peccary, but I can see it being useful.

Thanks guys
The peccary is very strong for wrapping I did give it a thin coat of bugbond for a little security. As for the picture they are just a work in progress and hopefully things are starting to get a bit better even though I know there is still work required but learning all the time.

send me one up here and i will test it out for you lol as my flies are not working lol.

If you do some like that in orange and give them a red tail i will have loads of fish as they are going mad on them up here.

Looks very nice and i wish i could tie some flies would save me a fortune and not only that i could pick the colours too.

Many thanks

Graham

Thanks for the comment but as for tying your own flies saving you a fortune I can only say one thing are you mad
