Been messing about with some mayflies and tied a couple like this.

Tye on thread near middle of kamazan b400 size 10


Then strip 3 brown hackles for tail and tye on


Tye in gold tinsel ribbing and bring up tail section about 6/7 mil and add some dubbing


Keep tail in left hand and wind dubbing on


Then bring your rib up


Then add brown cock hackle


Then add a grey hen hackle tip first


Then add a speckled hen from side of hen badger cape/ also tip first


Whip finish trim tail and job done,...i chose a golden olive and picric olive for these ones.






Cheers,
Geordie.

Very impressive.

Geordie,

How come your flies are always inventive and innovative ? Makes me feel inferior !!!!!! (LOL)

And whilst we are at it, you are going to have to make a list of all of your SBS's for me.....'cos I can't keep up

Will be giving those snails a swim very shortly now, will let you know how I get on.

Oh, like the Mayfly.

Hi Nigel,

Firstly thankyou for coments......fishing has always been a big part of my life with my pops taking me out from i was 3yrs old, then he showed me how to fly fish and tye flies at 14yrs old mainly river fishing.Never had much gear for tying as the flies were simple then and just worked from a small shoe box.
Then came the rainbows and more materials so moved on to flashy colourful patterns, then it was a bit of watching fish behavior and tying flies to match what i seen.Trips to Ireland had an input on my wet flies for a good spell and my dries for that matter.
Now with having tinitus i lost 2 jobs and have time to spare i just tye flies to keep the mind occupied.
I have been sent new materials by members of this forum and for that i am very greatfull, so i do my best with what these kind people have done for me......so its really this forum and its members that keep me going, and i do thank them all.Anyhow thats basicly it and glad you like my ideas.

Cheers,

Geordie.
