Well eventually I have made it back online and can start to post more regularly. House moves always seem to take longer than you think and now the computer and tying bench are back in action, we're back in business. Sorry to those that have visited the site and found such a shortage of updates. Fishing has been hard recently and nearly all my trips have stuggled to find the fish moving and feeding with any real enthusiasm. Warm September weather apparently beckons (ever hopeful) and the fishing will improve!
I thought I'd share a couple of flies I was recently sent from a swap. So Ray (Letumgo) and Vern-o if you're reading this, thanks very much guys - stunning flies! A little bigger than some of the flies I use, so these are set for the display.
Copperstone Blonde, size 4. Tied by Ray 'Letumgo' Tucker
Golden Stone, size 4. Tied by Vern-o
More soon...

Dave, My jaw dropped with I opened your blog and saw my fly. Thank you for taking the time to post the picture. It was an honor to swap flies with you (and the other gents). None of the original flies will ever be fished. It was wonderful to finally hold one of your flies in my hand for careful study and inspiration.
Kudos on keeping this wonderful blog going.
Thanks for the support Ray. Fine, fine additions to the collection.
