I have spent all week tying tube flies, they have gone mad I can not keep up, Olli at Eumer carn't neither. The best selling Tube flies are my Stincher monkey & Olli's Shrimper.

Research & development

Last bank holiday Monday I took time out to fish my local small water. Armed with only flies from our design team I had no option to use them. Missed two fish on a Carl Pennington Dry attractor, hooked three fish on a Damsel by John Horsfall & lost two fish on a Dave Wiltshire creation. So all in all not a bad days fishing, especially as I am not a great fisherman (fly tyer maybe).
