New season, underway.

Well the 2014 season is underway, but with the rivers up with flood water. not had many reports in of sewin off the river Towy only a few lost big fish, it is a good time of year for the big sewin to put in a show.  plus have not had the time to get out and have a fish. just been very busy tying for customers so making the most of it, till the river comes down ti a fly fishing level. 

 Above, Is a set of flies i tied this morning, for a customer who is fishing on the river Towy Saturday. so tied him up flies that i am sure the fish will see in the water dropping back, as we are not having more rain and the river drop 21/2 foot in the last few days.

A few of my glow in the dark snake flies, there have been a lot of demand for this pattern.

 Close up of my glow in dark, Squirrel blue and silver snake fly.
