So when you can't get out to fish, what else can you do?
and so started my attempts at fly tying.....
I bought a starter pack of material for about 15 quid, and picked up some extra bits and bobs off ebay. The prime reason for me wanting to tie flys is that getting decent flies on barbless hooks without costing more than I'm willing to cast is difficult! The hooks used are hanak and knapek barbless.
So i started, following a few patterns of the internet and making a few up as I went along.

| Treacle parkin? (sort of) |

| Beadhead pheasant tail nymph |
 |
| Klinkhammer |
 |
| Not sure, but is a dry fly! |

| Beetle with fluo pink sight post |
So, a few of my attempts so far. I'm hoping when work and family life settle down a bit I'll get out and try to see if I can tempt some grayling with some of my creations...
