Default Clan Chief (or very close to)

I've limited materials available but had a go at the Clan Chief with what I have, a good Brownie Flee which will hopefully get a wee dook on Friday

Tied on a #12 B175

You're really starting to turn out some nice flies in that style. Like it very much. Next time I'm up that way, I'll have half a dozen off you.

The tail is made from streamer hair I picked up on Ebay, my floss is a bit thin for tails. Collect as I go

Thanks for the comments, really enjoying tying my own now

Looking good Gary
The floss is thin and you need to keep doubling it over.
