erm.... can i ask, do you actually do any work or just sit at the vice all day long very nice flies indeed!!!

[jonnied17-2008]

Thanks for the comments guys! Aye terry all day long nah Im studying for a biology degree, which demands a fair few essays so I spend a lot of my time on the comp either reading, researching, writing or on the student portal. The vice is a big destraction, tends to prolong the work!

Heres a couple of underwater shots (well, attempts);

Great ties Jonnie
i have been working on some of these myself but more in Dave Wiltshire and using size 20 partridge klink hooks.

cheers kevin, Daves got this style down to a very fine art just a quick glance at his river fly box site will tell you that.

Don't get me wrong I like the partridge hooks, but for one there not barbless and two the hooks don't go into a small enough size for my liking if only eh?
