A Highland Loch Style Wet
Ive been tying a loch style box for a Highlands and Islands box Ive been putting together.
Here is an example of some of the patterns Ive been filling it with. Ive tied this pattern in various colurs and also with the incorporation of a cdc collar which will give the fly great movement when getting pulled back through the waves. However on this example Ive just used a soft lightolive hen hackle.
I hope you like the video but please do excuse my rubbish patter. First video for a while and I hope to get some more publidhed in the near future!

Chuck N Duck Fly Tying Materials
Was surprised and delighted that Chuck N Duck Flytying Materials contacted me recently to join their team as a flytying ambassador.
I'm very pleased to highlight and promote their materials as I particularly like and use their electric seal dubbing range.
They have got some lovely blends in their range and are a great alternative to original seal fur dubbing.
I've recently tied a few patterns using the UV Claret and mayfly yellow electric seal dubbing and I'm delighted with the results. The dubbing range comes in the much sought after colours and blends for many Irish and Scottish Loch/Lough style patterns and I look forward to experimenting with some more of their blends.
See below a few examples of patterns really enjoy tying and fishing using the blends.
