Gone fishing
Tomorrow I go to fishing with some friends and my son and his friend. Midge fishing in lakes is on the menu. His friend is new to flyfishing so this will be fun.

Re: Gone fishing
Lovely flies (and photography!) I'm very curious about that last fly, especially how you wrapped the hackle--are you wrapping from the eye back toward the hookpoint, then working your thread back through the hackle? And it seems as if you've left a little dubbing in a split thread as you've done so?

Re: Gone fishing
All three flies are beautiful, but the first one just rocks my boat. Recipe please. I really like the hook on the last two as well. What is it? Again, beautiful dressings on all three.

Martin, these are off the charts. I love this style and love the pics. Just top rate. Thanks for these.

Outstanding work, both flies and photos.

Re: Gone fishing
Martin - is the top fly tyed on one of the straight-eye hooks I sent? That reminds me, I intended to order some more of these to play with. They make a lovely wee fly. I love your creations. Beautifully buggy (sincere compliment).

Very nice flies and photo's. Did you manipulate the colors with a computer?
