25.01.2022 DEER HAIR SEDGE DRY FLY HOTSPOT - Can't wait to set this fly in front of rising trout on our Tasmanian waters this season. Tied so that it will float like a cork on Teimco TMC 100SP - BL #14 & #16. FOR SALE @ $3.50 + postage.
25.01.2022 HOPPER TIME FOLKS - Here is my version of the late Murray (Muz) Wilson's WEE CREEK HOPPER FLY A real fish catcher. Murray was known the World over for doing a lot of research into all his Fly Patterns which is why they all work so well on our trout down under. $3.50 Each + Postage Note - I was asked recently by customer, Do i discount for larger orders, the short answer is no due to rising cost of Hooks, Beads & other materials however I do look after customers with gift and usually several other flys for them to try. Stuart MacAulay
24.01.2022 COPPER HARE'S EAR NYMPH - This is one of the all time favourites throughout the entire world and is a must for everyone's fly box. This fly has been tied to the recipe and method displayed by Davie McPhail who is IMO one of the best if not the best Fly Tiers in the World today. These displayed flies are for sale $3.50 + postage. These flies have been tied on a KYPE K200BL # 14. I can tie on barbed if preferred to order.
24.01.2022 UV LUMO. JIG HEAD NYMPH - Two primary colours stand out as being highly effective in catching the attention of Mr. speckles and they are Black combined with Red. add to that some luminous UV colours and you have a super attractive trout catcher. I offer these for sale @ $3.50 each + Postage
24.01.2022 POTSCRUBBER NYMPH - This is as tied by Davie McPhail which I might add is somewhat neater than Dick Wigram's original which is on display at the musuem in Tasmania and pictured here. I have tied these on #10 200 R hook down to #16 and used my own special dubbing mix which works a treat. I would normally offer these for sale at $3 each but will have these included in the special waterproof fly box which will be on sale at seasons end ready for your restock in Tasmanian winter ready for next 21/22 Trout season. I will only have a very limited supply of these boxes so you will need to be quick. Place your pre-order now if you like so you do not miss out. The package will be 20 flies mix of both wet and dry in WP Fly Box for $50 plus postage.
22.01.2022 ZULU DEER HAIR - Yet another deadly fly and this fly will bring that trout to the surface to gobble this beauty up without hesitation. One of the best colours to attract our Tassie trout is Black and Red. I have tied this fly on a Tiemco TMC #16 BL. Offered for sale @ $3.50 + Postage
21.01.2022 DIY TIPPET TIDY OR KEEPERS - With the new season almost on us, have any fellow anglers had trouble with fine tippet material or leader material on spools coming... unraveled in your bag or on your fishing vest and becoming tangled. What a pain in the backside this is. I was reading an article on the Web from a gentleman in USA who came up with a really good idea, this is the link to the article I'm referring to. http://diyflyfishing.blogspot.com/ I proceeded along same lines but used a plastic bead since I could not locate suitable glass bead, The Locktite Super Glue was not as instant as Locktite 406 so I had to improvise but the final result is very strong and fit for purpose IMO. If you fly tie it is a good idea to wrap bead onto elastic to keep it in place as you will see from photographs, give it a try it will no doubt save a lot of frustration out on the water. See more
21.01.2022 HOTSPOT BUGGY GOLD BEAD JIG HEAD NYMPH - This is a real buggy looking nymph that our trout will not be able to resist as it bounces along the bottom to their waiting mouth. Tied on KYPE K310 BL # 14. These are offered for sale @ $3.50 + postage
20.01.2022 EMERGING DUN - This pattern is an oldie but a goody. It never ceases to perform whenever a hatch is taking place and also whilst searching. I can tie this in many colours to match the hatch so to speak and as you can see I have copied a natural to provide a similar colouring. Just add a little bit of floatant and commence fishing. Offer these for sale @ $3.50 each but these will also be heavily discounted in the WP Fly Box Special at seasons end so place your order now as there is a limited number only at $50 plus postage.
20.01.2022 BLUE/GREEN PERDIGON NYMPH - Here is another tied for recent order which offers plenty plenty of visibility whilst bumping along the bottom in fast water runs in local rivers. this fly has been tied on a Tiemco TMC 2499SP #14 and Gold 3.3mm Tungsten bead. These are offered for sale @ $3.50 Plus postage. No fly box should be without a selection of these for serious Nymph fishermen.
19.01.2022 OLIVE HOTSPOT JIG HEAD COPPER NYMPH - This exceptional fish catching fly is tied on a KYPE K310 BL #14 hook with Tungsten 2.0mm bead. The CDC collar on the fly creates lot of extra fish enticing movement making it a must for your fly box. this fly is offered for sale @ $3.50 Each + postage.
19.01.2022 ORANGE QUILLHAMER - This is a fly that I have just tied for returning customer. Given the colour being a trigger for our local trout, I can't wait to give this a try myself. Not the easiest to tie once you get down to #16 size but should be deadly. I have not set price on these by negotiation at this stage.
17.01.2022 TUNGSTEN BEAD HEAD NYMPH - tied on Tiemco TMC 2499SP BL #14 Bead 3.3 mm. I offer these for sale @ $3.50 each and considering price of hooks and beads these days this is a bargain so be quick with your orders.
16.01.2022 BUGGY SQUIRREL NYMPH - This is another fly I have tied recently to complete an order. This fly is tied on a KYPE K200BL # 14 & 3.3 T Bead. With the real bugginess this fly should entice many strikes from our fussy trout. I got the inspiration for this fly from a Pinterest fly Picture. I offer these for sale @ $3.50 each plus postage.
16.01.2022 GEEHI BEETLE - This is an exceptional fly with an awesome pedigree. My fishing buddy Tom who was originally from Southern Ireland then spent most of his working life in Victoria before joining us here on the Apple Isle in late 2019 very rarely fishes anything but this fly. Rather than me sing it's praises I would rather quote from the following: (see reference to original fly below) http://fishonfly.com.au/wp/ Quote "GEEHI is an area just a little south of the NSW snow field...s and the source of the Geehi River which flows into the Swampy Plains River and ultimately into the mighty Murray. This fly was designed it seems around 1920 by Dr. Keith Zwar from Melbourne as a representation of beetles that found themselves on the river. It is a well hackled buggy looking fly that floats well. It has turned out to be a very useful fly in the Snowy Mountains and other areas and can be used as a generalised beetle and search pattern with great effect. One of the key elements of this fly that has been overlooked in many fly patterns I have seen is the choice of the front hackle. Make sure its a ‘coch-y-bonddu’ type hackle i.e. a ginger hackle with a black centre. The black centre of the hackle when wound in touching turns to the eye of the hook extends the beetle body along the full length of the shank of the hook and I an confident that is one of the keys to the success of this fly." Unquote. I offer these flies for sale @ $3.50 + Postage Those pictured are tied on both normal Furnace Hackle and the other example the 'Coch- y-bonddu' hackle. I can also tie on Barbed or Barbless your call when you order.

11.01.2022 ROYAL WULFF - What a history and what a great fish catcher these flies are in both rivers and lakes. These examples have been tied on Tiemco TMC100 SP Barbed and Barbless #16. There is a lot of work in getting the calf Tail wings to sit just right on these. Offered for sale @ $4 + Postage
11.01.2022 Thank you to everyone who is liking my FB page - pass the message around your circle of friends as naturally I would like more orders, getting more materials and progressing is getting more expensive & at times difficult, especially with the Covid outbreak where freight costs have been hit really hard and local retailers have not helped with the astronomical prices they are charging in some cases - something has to give, this simply can't continue.Thank you also for reading this and hopefully your understanding of my and many others who find themselves in the same boat so to speak.

04.01.2022 GS OR BETTER KNOWN AS THE GUIDES SECRET - This is an attractor pattern which does not represent any particular bug but like the Royal Wolff Fly, the trout pounce on it.

I offer these for sale @ $3.50 each tied on #12 or # 14 Hooks Barbed or Barbless. Your choice.
02.01.2022 GOLD & SILVER HUMONGOUS FLY VARIANT - Here is a quote from David Downie, Scotland who tied this variant QUOTE " My brief and honest account of the Humungus or Shuggie as I call it, a now world wide fly that has caught fish all over and not just trout. This is simply in my honest opinion the best all rounder fly there is. Tasmania, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Cuba, Canada, USA to name a few places. I always tie up a batch of hooks first and have the eyes on them pre...-superglued then I do the tails with flash next easiest way. tie with a 4mm single bead for Fips Mouche Compliance."UNQUOTE I have copied here with one exception, I have used seed bead instead of chain eyes as i'm currently tying these flies in Queensland and do not have my chain eyes with me. I offer these flies for sale at $3.50 each + postage
02.01.2022 RED TAG - What a fly that has been around it seems since the beginning of time. It never seems to fail to catch fish even when everything else fails.
