Lovely fly Dougie, you've been practicing what about the tail appendages? Important moving feature on the Hydro's i wouldn't leave them out. Sometimes that little suggestion of 'life' can be the best trigger of all. Trouble is getting the shade right for the river your fishing i suppose. Top notch, keep em coming.

Tail appendages/gills.......like on this Rhyac thingy?




Do you think it makes a difference Tweed? Bloody 'mare tying them though eh?! But rewarding all the same

Dougie

Very nice tying Ryac.
Can you put it in thread Step by step or it is very secret?

Where the wandering water gushes
From the hills above Glen-Car,
In pools among the rushes
That scarce could bathe a star,
We seek for slumbering trout
And whispering in their ears
Give them unquiet dreams;
Leaning softly out
From ferns that drop their tears
Over the young streams.
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.
