What Have You Been Tying Today?

Enjoyed a couple of hours playing with CDC and dubbing today  :)

I'm feeling a bit rusty at the vice, but a little practice will help and it's all about having fun!

What have you been tying?

With my interest ignited in the salmon I tied a few of these, not too difficult and proved successful on a recent trip

Revisiting an old favoutie, the Mallard and Claret used to be one of my go to flies when I first started fishing hill lochs. Haven't really used one for years.

Cheers Mike.

With the trout season over we must be entering the tying season (not that my tying really has a season), maybe we will see some more activity on this thread.

Today I experimented a little with the Holy Grail pattern using CDC  for the body and collar.
