3 for santas bag

[wingman]

Not much time lately but managed to tie these three and a bit of practice for Rob's wetfly comp always comes in handy although I havn't got a clue yet what to tie.

Thanks for looking and all comments welcome

cheers

Nice work as usual Mark,though i dont know about that tippet tail on your cruncher.

[the beginner]

Thanks Wullie, yup i agree with ya, the tail is badly positioned and could be alot better, I did miss it at the time but then realised when I photographed the fly that I'd boobooed, ah well thats fly tying

Didny mean that Mark,just thought it would be better wi a hackle fibre tail

[Eddie O'Neill]

Great looking flies as usual Mark. Really don't know why us mere mortals are entering Rob's competition...

[dabhoy]

Im in a state of Nirvana Mark and think that its a real beezer and that you should have saved it for the comp

Whats the body on the cruncher as it looks varnished ?

[wingman]

Thanks Captain and Eddie

Ah see what you mean Wullie yes probably right it would look better, I still don't like my tippets though

Well i know why I'm entering Eddie, so that I hopefully won't make a jackass out of meself this year after my atrocious performance last year, but I was just a fledgling then so now my wings are up and running (flying should I say) so to speak, in other words I was just a dodo but now I'm a white tailed eagle

Aye you'll never guess what the body is on the nirvana Dabhoy but its a secret weapon

The cruncher body is two lengths of black pearsalls and two lengths of hot orange pearsalls all wound together and then varnished.
