Tying a few flies over the winter, just got a DSLR so playing with a few pics while I learn to use it…
A nice way to pass the tying with a wee drop of single malt as accompaniment…
One last shot of a wee winter streamer…
Once I start to master the camera… I might start to post in the photography section LOL…
Those are cool, Mike. What are the ones on top called? Looks like that would be a great lead fly in a double-nymph rig with a tiny midge larvae trailing it. I bet it SINKS.
Also the photos are good man. All you really need is a neutral background – try a piece of clean craft felt or posterboard.

Thanks Zach, the top flies are just a variation of a ‘Simon’s Ugly’… 2x 3.5mm tungsten beads locked in with 4-5 turns of 0.25 lead and wire body. Great fly to get down deep quick with a smaller natural fly for a tail works great, gets eaten a lot on it’s own too!
The photo’s were just on the tying desk, a last minute thought… I will play with a neutral back ground next time. I was just reading the post about shooting studio stuff and making it float… so much to learn and try!A new colour combo, liking the look of it so far…
Just got some Loon UV clear fly finish and been adding it as a back to add some durability…
Had trouble getting the site to load for a while… I have been playing with UV clear as seen on the back of some of these bombs…
Playing with a whitebait pattern… didn’t get to use it this last weekend as a big slip has closed the road to the coast.
A mate took a few the week earlier and got a couple of sea runners…
