As Beardy Paul and I are clearly desperate to get on the water but can’t find a spare hour between us, it looks like we’re going to have to entertain ourselves with tying some flies.

Here are my next batch of creations, which hopefully I’ll be trying out on the water soon. Check out Beardy Paul’s post and let us know which ones you like. I’ll revert back with the results once I’ve test driven them with some actual trout!

NB: flies might not be exactly as names would suggest as I tend to make things up as I go!
