Picture of Selmmuir in a fly tying book ?

Forums:

I opened Fly Tying the Paraloop Way by Ian Moutter this morning and noticed a photo of the author standing with a double hander at Selmmuir Trout Fishery. This may not be that strange given that Mr Moutter is from Mid Lothian but I think it's the first time I've noticed a local trout water in a fly tying book or any book for that matter. Just as a second thought if you're into fly tying this is a nice little book dedicated to the paraloop style of tying.

Have any of you guys noticed your local waters in books ?.

Woven Rhyacophila Larva

I've been messing about tonight with woven patterns and I kinda like this one. I've been looking for a simple and quick fly to tie to imitate Ryacs for a while, Standard Czech Nymphs are fine of course and the slightly more tiresome to tie OE pattern from his DVD's is also very nice along with a host of others.
