Thank you Donald, I'm only part time these days. I've got 30 hours a week at the local Coop, just to make sure the bills are paid.

Unlike some production tiers I don't tit to a rhythm, but tie each fly deliberately. I've also demonstrated a lot, which means knowing the fly you are tying well enough to be able to concentrate on the narrative, not the tying.

You may be interested to see this.

Its a wire woven body in the colours of a Peter Ross. I use it when I want something to fish a little deeper, usually to anchor a cast of 3 flies. It's about as heavy as using a small bead head.
Now its back to the vice to tie an order of dapping flies. And a friend wants some for early season salmon on Loch Brora. He'll dap while I fish the wet fly.

Cheers,
Alan.
