Size 16, but tying some 18's for a visit to my favourite brookie water -when the waters recede.

Came across a photograph I took a few years back.

Still wondering what the hell the wheat did to be treated this way.

I stopped trying to match the hatch years and years ago. I simply pursue trout with my impressionistic patterns these days. About 90% of my flies are without name and get presented to the fish as works in progress. I tie two of each usually. I know it's not a popular way..

My current tying station. I forego the oak table, the oil lamps, and the deer hide reclining chair and opt for utilitarian.
