Default Para adams and olive emerger

Its been a while since I've posted any flies but hopefully they have come on a bit. I've been practising tying parachute hackles, hopefully that will show. I've also been playing around with my photography set up, so hopefully that will show too. Either way I'm always pleased to receive feedback. So, here goes:

As above. The shape of the hook suits it very well. Nice ties

Chris.

Thanks for the comments I'll have to tie up a few more of the olive one after that reaction, I only tied one I was a bit nervous about using the B100, because I've had problems with them straightening before when used as buzzer hooks. It gives a nice profile though and I'll use a more forgiving actioned rod when using these hooks in future.
