Fly O' the Month take two.

[phearless]

Well this kinda fell by the wayside, but I would like to try it again.
We did get some excellant flies the first time I believe.
Once again the honourable panel of judge, ( me ) will pick a fly, or style of fly and the most exalted members ( you) will post pics of said flies.
For Feb. 1st lets try your current fave of the prawny/shrimpy variety.
I just love those things.
It can be a traditional style, or spey or tube or intruder or scotch induced.
You get the idea.
Now to get the materials together.
First I will need some seal and..............

The fly in this photo was tied many years ago and still sits above my tying desk, as it brings back some great memories. 01:00 Christmas morning sitting at my tying desk with a single malt, knowing my wife and daughters were upstairs asleep waiting for the early morning excitement that Christmas morning brings to our home.

Very nice fly Oz.
But your story that goes with it is even better.
Memories are great things.

Here is a prawn tube I tied up the other day. I will try to post a better image.

Here is one I did up the other day.
Had a handshake on it sunday.

C'mon guys there has to be more of you out there.
TimDog, shoot us a pic of a squiggley special.
We already have three good un's let's continue the trend.
If you are new to tying don't worry about it,
we can use the shot to follow the progression of your rise to the
top of the tying world.

[phearless]

Anyone?
Hello.
Is there anybody out there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
This can be warmwater as well guys.
Bonefish etc.
