Default Christmas Comp..

Just for fun guys.......

Lets see who can tie they best fly by using materials not designed or normally associated with fly tying.....and i don't think feathers from a feather duster or simular really count....

Be original and inventive.....photograph & post your flies along with a brief description of the materials...we'll have a poll to decide the winner.....

There will be a small prize.....that's yet to be decided.....

shall we say a closing date of Jan 2nd !

I sincerely hope so

Remember that guy that posted up flies tied with hair from his mrs, everyone else joked about it - then someone actually did it PMSL.

In The Scottish Borders it's called The Birse Fly..... a well known pattern, no one uses them but it's good to see all the various colours?!!
