Did a wee bit of fly tying today, and used that for an opportunity to try and do a bit of close up on small subjects.
Hen pheasant spider.
I tied a few of these today, used a vintage hook from a purchase I made a couple of years ago, so I don't know what it is.
Size 14 or 12 its hard to tell, but it has a slightly longer shank, but on the box it said wide gape.
Thread, not fly tying thread but it lies flat and I like it
Silver wire rib and hen pheasant hackle.
Not what I intended to tie today, but had a nice time just doing this.
Made a few and they are in my box for next season.

Just to prop up my reputation as the local nutter today I made a Homebrew Ham radio antenna and stuck it on my roof ( It is tied back to keep it safe) As my roofing material is slate which contains a number of metals the theory was I should get a better signal if I get the Antenna outside and just above the roof line. Unfortunately I have high ground around me which makes getting signals out at VHF/UHF a bit difficult but just getting this outside has made a huge difference. It called a flower pot Antenna ( A bit strange I know) Now the locals can look up and ask each other whats that nutter up to again !

Hi, a 3-squirrel day !

 

[swanseamale47]

Was supposed to be out with my brother, but that fell through, then I was going to have a wander, but life got in the way so that went out the window. Managed to get these going to the local shop for bread.

New toys arrived today. Creature lures for light lure fishing. After years of chucking the bigger ones I'm having a crack at finesse lure fishing.
