FLYMPH FORUM

I was going through some old pics and found this one of what I thought were a dressing called "Broughton Point". But I sure don't remember tying them and I can't find them in my fly boxes. Isn't an old man's memory something else?

Call them what you want.....they look delicious! Very nicely tied! Show us more of what you can't remember you called them!

I just took a quick look at the flies in the set you sent me, to see if there was one of these in the set. No such luck.

Perhaps you gave them to some other lucky recipient.

They sure are classically beauties! Superb proportions and lively looking pattern.

Fantastic ties; they're gorgeous. If you ever remember the recipe, be sure to post that as well.

I can't remember some I tied last year and there may be a few more I don't remember from 60+ years ago!

Some flies I don't remember tying from yesterday.

Those are tight looking flies, and if I were to tie them I don't think I'd ever forget them because they do look sweet.

Thanks, Bob.

Forget a fly?

Consolidating some Midge boxes in my closet, I came across these 32s tied in 2001. I remembered making a 32 cased caddis but forgot these...

I really like those heavy duty hooks you’re using there, Mr. roadkill bill - in fact they’re extra nice. Which make and model would they be?
Many thanks, Dana
