Tied a few up tonight whilst the footy was on;

Fiery Brown


Close Up


Orange Diawl


And one I'm calling the champions buzzer (should have put some white breathers on it)


Any comments greatfully received.

superb,,,what type of hackle is that and how do you get the finish on the buzzer also,

Thanks for the comments gents, much appreciated.

Edd7, The dressing for the dabbler is;
Hook - B170 #12
Thread - UTC 70 Wine
Rib - UTC Fire Orange (Brassie as tied, but Small would be better)
Body - Fiery brown and Orange seals fur blend
Hackle - Fiery brown saddle
Wing - Autumn brown bronze mallard

The finish on the buzzer is just hard as nails (3 or 4 coats). Don't give up on dabblers, they are very tricky ties, I get 1 in 3 about right and even then they are rubbish compared to lots of the ones on here.

Love the mallard on that Dabbler

Very nice fly looks very shrimpy.

It is cracking mallard, Autumn Brown from Artifly. Stunning colour in the flesh.

"looks very shrimpy" I was thinking sedge when I tied it, pull across the top during a hatch it could be fun.
