I decided to take the plunge and started to tie my own flies...

Here is a few of my own versions

Very very nice Gerhard! (clap) I like that first buzzer, looks like a deadly fly. I reckon that wet fly in the 9th pic will clean up in stillwaters, and I'd be really suprised if you don't pick up some yellows with that fly in the 5th and 6th pic. Nice flies man!

Very nice Gerhard. Those last 6 flies will kill the yellows. I do love buggy looking flies.

Nice flies Gerhard, they will all catch fish. I especially like the one with the CDC wing in pic 8. I will take 10 in sizes 12, 14 and 16 please.  w;k

YES PLEEEEZE (clap).

If everyone is like Nico, Rory, and Schlossie, I don't know how much fishing will be done :hehe:

If we caught fish on every trip, it would be called " Catching". We don't, and that's why it's called "Fishing".
