A couple of flies

[Donald Nicolson]

Here are a couple of flies.
They are two I tied a couple of months ago when I first started dressing
flies again.
The hooks are size 12 and the hackles are Rusty Dun Hen.





I thought this section was looking a bit neglected.

Donald,

Lovely wee flees. What, pray tell, is the body material. It looks fantastic. Well done, my friend.

Ron
That is the problem, when I tied them, I was going mad in a fly dressing frenzy.
I did not make a note of the body material. I have a load of glitter threads acquired
from various sources, sewing shops and haberdashers. I'll have to go through it.

I am rolling with laughter, Donald. I have done that so many times. It's maddening when the fly works very well and you can't remember what you used to dress it.
