What Are You Tying Today?

Thanks @dc410 for posting the Usk Naylor wet fly and advice on tying it. This one produced a brown trout last evening in some deep fast moving water.

I used a size 14 Nymph Hook.

It’s always nice when you tie a new fly and then catch a trout with it.

Like you, I tied a couple flies in what I’d call the Usk Naylor style, after @dc410 showed the one he tied.
I wasn’t very confident at the time that this fly would work, but I wanted one with pronounced purple showing through. It’s not that much different from yours, so maybe there’s hope for it.
