tonights efforts

[fortbhoy]

a wee red number to start with


i seen this one in fly fishing and fly tying, i loved it so ad to tye it.
the body is a little fat for my liking, it's my first effort so i will refine it.


this is a quill buzzer, i used deer creek uv resin to finish it but it looks bumpy and uneven. i think i will stick to varnish in future it gives you a better finish and slimmer look.

The wee red number, I'd happily fish with all day every day.Cracking fly.10/10 for the head work on that fly too;not easy, but you've done an excellent job finishing the fly off.
