They look good to me Smile

I could have saved you a little hassle and done the pictures for you when they turned up, least I could do for keeping you all waiting an extra 3 days.

That’s ok Paul, photobucket was just playing up for some reason, it kept putting the pictures in upside down, even after rotating them. I tied my last fly with my own hair it was that frustrating!!!! Laughing

I rather choose the number 3 named Marks cause it looks like a shrimp and that's the best for fishing. But for me while i am waiting for the fish to eat my bait ill just play some of my games called gacha life and akinator just buying some time

Look at me resurrecting this old post from 2008 Very Happy

I have been doing some Grayling fishing on a stretch of the Itchen that Wylye kindly introduced me too. This has meant looking at basic fly patterns to tie and try, many of which are not that far removed from the above examples.
Interestingly the original post seems to be before the popular trend of jig hooks and beads.
I will take any advice on offer, in my limited fishing and tying for Grayling I have found the good old PTN with various tweeks to work best for me. Size and weight also seems to be crucial.
Wylye did give me a master class and a selection of flies to use so I have had some success.

Hi Peter, hope you are keeping well.

Some baetis/olive type flies. Nymphs and dries.
Some caddis type flies. Nymphs and dries.
Some shrimps and spiders.
Some patterns for dirty water, squirmy.
Look through you tube at folks like Andy Buckley and blogs like Andrew Hawker-Overend.

Good range of size/weights.

PM sent mate. Its a mine field like most fly fishing and yet easy and best to keep simple.

Cheers, Mark.

Thanks Mark
When I fished this week there was a good rise of fish at midday which I struggled with due to a lack of suitable dry flies (apart from a few that Wylye gave me)
I may post a picture or two of my more successful concoctions.
