All lovely flies. I have to ask; did you tie these ?

All lovely flies. I have to ask; did you tie these ?

i didn’t tie the Hawthorne or Tups iasgair. The Hawthorne isn’t my style since it has wings.
That reminds me.That mole skin you have is what is used for the body of the iron blue soft hackle and iron blue dun,but not the blue dun which is tied with a light blue dubbing and is a totally different fly

Soft hackle iron blue pattern

Thread — red/wine
Hackle — starling lesser covert feather. Other bird lesser coverts can be used,but the starling is very soft.
Body — mole/rabbit mix dub

Simple and deadly and I’m sure one of your recently bought books will have the pattern.
