Moved at Philpot's request.As the day afloat was aborted, I decided to make a couple of pike flies. I am in no way very good at this game yet but I have to say I am really enjoying tying. Here we go Bait fish pattern Glitter bug (zonker) Deceiver pattern Marabou perch Marabou streamer Zonker streamer The heads were varnished with UV varnish and zapped with a UV laser pen which is dry and hard in about 5secs. Brilliant stuff, no more drying wheels and waiting for hours to dry. Please feel free to comment, I won't be offended Just need to get out and have a go when this weather has improved. Phil
