Looking at surface stuff for the float tube gathering, anyone ever tried the parasol style?

I have done ok on those type of patterns Iain, i used foam instead of that material you have used! I presume that is aero wing???
I used gut also and fed it through a piece of foam then burnt the end of the foam with the lighter which melted the gut and bonded the materials together!
Very affective for swirling troot and its a good way of keeping the flies in the zone, i have them in a range of bits of gut up to 6"!
Nice tying

Hi Iain,
            Parasol fly , you must be expecting rain eh ?    I tie these with a foam ball wrapped in a bit of mesh , never thought of Aerowing , Uh Duh . Also like to leave the fly as streamlined as poss. for easy sinking . Once you get into thinking sideways about these things you will be inventing all sorts.
Hows about a comp. for the most innovative /silliest idea Mike ?  Could be fun.
I,ve even seen a dry fly tied with a bit of bubble wrap ,including the bubble by the way . It caught a fish !

Here is something I threw together tonight ,a rough Olive, aye a very rough Olive

Nice flies again iain,
Are you getting out enough to give them a try

[Iain Goolager]

Hello there Baz,

The buzzers have caught, the emerger has been shortlisted for the tippet on a few occasions but never made it & the nymph is for clear skinny water (haven't seen any yet).

What you tying?

Iam a week shy of my 24 night shifts on my new job 
Still plenty time for tying off shift 
Iam doing alot of kate muddlers / bibio muddlers / green tailled kates / cormorants / humungus's and the odd blob!
Got a few wee orders of lads wanting some flies so plenty tying been done!
Plenty complaints by the stewards out here as the have to hoover my room alot due to the deer hair mess
Oh the joys 

[Matt Henderson]

Hello lads,

I must have missed these two Paul





What is the material that you have used for the wing? 





Nice work Iain what size is the hook for that nymph?

I'd need binoculars to tie that one...
