Fly Tying at home !

So seeing as how the old diet started yesterday I thought that today I would start my other New Year resolution and get my fly tying gear out. I set up my rather nifty mag lamp and tied up a few Knlinkhammers and some CDC Blue Winged Olives.

Needless to say I am out of practice.

    Hi Alistair,
    Just a wee hello and all that.
    This black klinkhammer looks really good, wonder what the CDC blue winged olive’s look like ?? :o) .. wonder what the body of the klinker is ?

    I’m on a diet as well, as I ate too much , drank not enough and still getting the draw’d jaws from my home made prawn cocktail … too much lemon juice :o(

    Speak soon .. George :o)

    Hi George,

    The body is simply black superfine dubbing with a rib of green thread.

    I put my work trousers on this morning and realised I probably have a longway to go yet ;)
