 This was the first version of the "Balloon" bug, tied with yellow and pink balloon strips.
On this particular fly i added Deer Creek resin to the pink collar and bead, not sure its a good idea though.

 Hook :- Black 12# Wide Gape
Body :- Yellow-ish Balloon strip
Collar :- Pink Antron
Bead :- Black Tungsten 

The hooks are some i have had for a good few years now! balloon is cut into strips about 3/8ths wide, and then folded in half, tied in and wound tightly to start and then eased as you get to the bead.

Dark winged version below.

A New Season.

Well, its 3 days into the new season and i haven't been/managed to get out yet! apparently, the rivers around here are still very quiet ( nothing rising! ) hoping to get out soon though, and will probably try out my new electric motor on the reservoir. 
Have been busy tying up a lot of buzzers and dry flies for the coming season, mostly 16# dry flies, and 14# buzzers.
Have a 4 day trip into Wales coming of in June, with 3 other club members, should be a good outing, hopefully will have some pictures to post of fish, fishers and fishing venues.
