As I say i am unable to take decent photos of flies, must be my
camera. Heres a example of a couple of my most successful
patterns. some a bit worse for wear.

embarrassed to say that I only fish with live bait !

Thanks wc I appreciate your time to take the pics, the pics are
good and the flies are better, I hope to copy some of them this
week, I tied some myself today so I'll see if I can get some
pics of them and put them on, I'm terrible for gettin a pattern
and as I call it "bastardising" it, I've did it with nearly all
the the flies I've tied over the years and most of them worked
at one time or another. I was talkin to an Ireland team angler
today and he was sayin they fish nothin but wolf's for the
Mayfly mornin,noon & night on Erne so that's what I tied, I
always thought of wolf's bein grey/black coloured but he was
sayin they tie them in green's & yellow's too so that's my nest
one to knock out. Thanks again wc

The Wulff family of flies do fish well on erne, they float very
well for long hours and sit high in the water. I dont use them
much because I cannot tie them very well and cant find nice ones
to buy. This is one of the nicest versions I know, the Corrib
Wulff.

Looking well semi, should work well on the wave. What floatant
do you use. I use Mucilin or Gink. The gink really works best in
warmer weather.
