Ruard,

That is such a lovely fly pattern. Downright racy, actually.

Ruard, Howdy;

Always a good day when you share with us the flies you tie. , !

I like the mark2 version, but I tend to look upon flies through a brown trout fishers eyes.......
The mark1 version I think would be a killer fly on Grayling (from what little I know of Grayling fishing).
Wonderfully tied and a great bit of innovation Ruard.

Ruard ~ The " ... another Killer Tups" is a masterful creation.

So who is next with a Tups Killer or something like that???


Ruard

I will play.

Not in your league as a tyer Ruard, but it was fun trying to duplicate your skills, and pattern.

Very nice! Inspiring. Makes me want to head back to the vice to play.

What hackle did you use here Wayne?

beautiful photo, btw. sharp as a tack!

[Ruard]

Ooohhhh Yeahhh, They have the same buggy appearance, that I was after when I tied mine.

It looks to me you tied the Killer Tups 1.

Very well done!!

I googled on chukar, saw the pictures and it looks like a French Partridge. Saturday I had a talk with the owner of Cookshill ( there was a little fly fair here in Holland and Cookshill was there also) and he said to me that he had not seen a Golden Plover for a year. It becomes a rare bird it looks like!

Ruard & Wayne - After reading this thread, and looking at the flies I was inspired to tye some Killer Tups variations. I created four variations on the theme. I will try to post them tomorrow evening. Thanks for the inspiration. It was fun.
