Here's my finished #painting of "#OldFatherThames".

It's about the nature, history, culture, folklore, magic and bounty of the #riverThames; a reminder of what it could and should be... a place of life, joy and wonder.

BIRDS NOT TURDS, FISH NOT FILTH.

Still on these wee baitfish with the inner colour. Roach imitations for clear water this morning.

It's never a bad idea to copy successful conventional lure colour schemes. When I used to fish lures for perch, this used to be one of my favourite colours of the old fox chubby shads. #flyfishing #flytying #fishing #coarsefishing #coarsefishonthefly #coarsefishonfly #notonlytrout #perchfishing #perch
If there's one thing worth knowing about big perch, it's that they love eating little perch. But then so do most other fish. #flyfishing #flytying #fishing #perchfishing #perch #coarsefishing #coarsefishonthefly #coarsefishonfly #notonlytrout
