Good basic flies Bob but you have been cutting that marabou haven't you?
Bad dog!
If it's to long just rip it with your nails.

Bit harsh
All usable flies.

[bobblaikie]

thanks maharg. and yes i have been well and truly rumbled

i only usually tye one or two of each pattern then stick them on here to see what more experienced tyers think, so all comments are taken on board before i start tying up a decent batch of each fly.

again, thanks

Those dries and the montana look good to me mate. Well done

All fish catchers I'm sure; I like the montana, a little refinement on the head and you'll have a cracker. I caught quite a few 'bows on that nymph early last season

cheers marcusp. cheers Gary.

re the montana. i dont think ive ever fished with one before. i just tied it up because it looked fairly easy. its going to be getting a swim now tho.
