Hi Otto, Great to see some of your photos. :D Ray has given you some sage advice especially regarding your camera settings.

Sweet looking ties my friend, me like. :D I love a bit if grouse and that collar looks lovely.

I love the look of this one Mark, it's very sculptural and the hook is psychedelic!

What Kelly said.
These ties are seriously cool Mark. I can hardly wait to see them in the flesh

This fly would have fish all over it, I love it. For some reason I've always had a real soft spot for a fly with claret in it, claret that slinks down and has movement, even better... :D When I first saw this pattern I immediately thought about your comment on Emyr's Welsh flies and the ones you lik...
