Thanks Terry! Just like to show the flies I actually use, no need to make things complicated for the fish's sake. :)

Brilliant instructional vid Alex. Only had time to watch the first fly but going to watch it properly later. Might have to buy some 18/0 thread now 😬. Materials all packed away for an imminent house move but the nights are drawing in and I’ll finally have some space to get stuck in.

Thanks Charlie! The 18/0 Nano Silk is great, good strength and just gives you so much more room to play with when you are tying. Just be aware that it can cut through some materials as it is so fine but otherwise fantastic.
