Default More winged wets - warning bright colours

Tied a few more wetflies useing slatey coloured wings (mallard, waterhen) and one useing partridge I think. A bit on the bright side but this dull weather's driving me nuts and my fly tying by the looks of things. All tied on kamasan B175's size 12.

Sunny and cheerful Nicely tied flies, I like them.
I like a wee bit of tail, but that's just me

Thanks Don, nothing wrong with a bit of tail, it's called lazy tying

Nice bright wets, Mark, but then we've come to expect nothing less from you. Why is it your wings always look so neat and tidy next to mine? And we all can always use a bit of tail...

Top one, (Cheeky Devil) is a cracker, Mark. I could see it doing a lot of damage, anywhere, any time of the season. Tie a few of that one mate... and actually fish it. The 'Black Uriah' has potential too. Then it all descends into a cacophony of sterile, random, multi-coloured lifelessness that the yanks go potty over I'm afraid

Always good to see your wares though
