Hi folks.
I've not tied any classics for a few months so sat down and churned this one out.
Pretty average with lots of faults but an enjoyable tye.

Love it

Thanks Ben & Soundmixer.

More to come along with some Ollie Edwards flies from the new book

Incidently i reckon his flies are as technical as these classics any day.

Atb Chris.

Keep em coming, some of Ollies patterns are superb and very difficult to get right. I tied some of his heptagenid nymphs some years back, gave up on them as loosing on on the bottom is as painful as breaking a rod!

Lol. Thats a fact, bleeding finicky time consuming but brilliant flies.
Might try framing a few.

I used to tie a lot of classics and that does not look too shabby to me.

Never seen a classic gut eyed fly tied with a cone head before Pete? Is this some sort of "modern classic"?
