I can see it already, it's going to be a bugger of a weekend. Getting the post coffee mornings vise work started with some Mk2 Wooly Buggers in olive. I like to tie them with 6 & 1\2 inches of lead free wire wrapped… https://t.co/4b7ph44E43

After making one hell of a mess with marabou trimmings over the weekend, I thought a clean-up of the tying bench was in order. Now I'm a happy little Virgo once again. Because the Regal deserves a clutter-free… https://t.co/9cZc1LlsYi

It's been a productive morning with the biggest box of marabou you'll likely ever see now unloaded and ready to go. This new range of Bugger Marabou comes in 11 proven colours from Brent at The Lost Fly. It's perfect… https://t.co/2LbgsDCvDe

Packaging several dozen possum tails to start my day. Then I think another coffeis in order.
How many of you will be tying with possum this week? I certainly will be wrapping some more Possum Emergers later in the… https://t.co/AE61C7VUJs

Caddis emergers are up this morning. While we're busy sending orders out to all those fellow fly tyers who are in lockdown, it's nice to tie a few for my own box too.
I'm loving the ahrexhooks FW510 for this… https://t.co/RqiGv51R2T

It's hard to go past the simple things, like a mayfly, on a Backwinder, in the sunshine, on a winter's day. #flyfishing #bugslife #backwinder @ Back of Beyond https://t.co/UUu3pkDhsi

It started with an idea over a glass of Shiraz last week and ended up getting a little out of hand. And so, I present to you, ladies and gentlemen, The Magic Quill Gamechanger!
Clearly I got sidetracked.
Certainly… https://t.co/EikEyDj4xY

This is another one to add to the list for when summer and those much needed longer days are here. You don't want to be hiking out of this spot in the dark! #flyfishing #smallstreams #findyourwater @ Back of Beyond https://t.co/ayCfcPYYF5

Nymph collars, wally wings, classic wet flies, Catskills patterns... There's so much you can do with even a small bag of mallard flank feathers. Does anyone here use gadwell instead of mallard? What are your… https://t.co/RJpaQmJvau

Throwing together a bunch of 718 Stones over a coffee this morning. These sure are a fun little tie, just can't wait until we can get back on the water to put them to good use. #flytying #tieyourown… https://t.co/VYNbWwHal4

If we can't be out on the water, might as well look at photos of it. Here's a productive little creek I know well, from a few years back running hard early in the season. Certainly another one to look forward to… https://t.co/LhhMoBfkop

This one is up near the top of my list to visit when the season reopens. It's hard to believe that this photo was taken on a morning after three days of heavy rain in the catchment and she's still running clear. That… https://t.co/ZoZk7R1TT9

Cod flies anyone? We've just unboxed a big shipment of naturesspiritflytying Grizzly Variant Saddle feathers. And there's some killer colours in there for a range of cod and bass flies. Check them out in the… https://t.co/S3CPdod0H7
