Another weekend spent topping up the Pike Flies for my day of next week!!!



These flies were done with mostly Deer Creek www.deercreek.co.uk materials with some Piketrek hooks and stuff.
The left hand flies were made using the following materials:
Piketrek O' Shaunnessy 3/0 hook
Gliss 'n' Glint Snow White
Gliss 'n' Glint Chartreusse
Mono thread and red floss for the head.
The eyes I think came from Piketrek but can't remember!!
The head was coated with Bug Bond and a coating of Sally Hansen.

the Pink thing was done using:
Piketrek hook as above
Gliss 'n' Glint Snow White
Piketrek Natural Colours 'Dogs Lipstick'
Spectrum Fibre - Harmony Angel
Pink Floss and Mono thread
finished as above.



The Roach (sort of!)
Hook as above

Good old Bug Bond to finish!
