Nice bugger fly! uote name="flytire" post="669294" timestamp="1470228161"]

I use clip ons. Tried magnifier but got in the way Cheers

Awesome tie retro. I have spent this month tying lake flies....... Not looking forward to getting back to the smaller hooks!!!

Thanks for the replies guys, Zip would you know the names of any of the salmon flies? hey Thurst, they do behave like birds of prey and kill juveniles of native birds and marsupials Cheers

Hi all, I currently have a Sparrow and Indian Myna problem at home due to the availability of grain we use to feed our chickens. Before I get the air rifle out (legally of course) can anyone tell me what they may have used feathers from these birds in the past for? A pic of the birds below Note: I live in Australia and both these species are introduced and invasive.

I have a small clamp travel vise and a box with tools always in the car. I often sit in the passenger seat of the car (While parked in the car park) and tie a handful of flies over lunch or during a break. I always feel so relaxed when I return to the office with the anticipation of the weekend's fish Cheers VB1971

Definitely will tie it. Cheers Thanks! Give it a try. Its a good pattern that catches well in fast/deep water. I caught 5 fish on it this morning in just an hour or so once I found a good drift. Well ok, I caught 4. I was fishing with 6x tippet and I hooked a 20+ inch trout down stream with some fast moving water. I wasn't sure enough on my feet to run after it and well, he snapped me off. I probably should have stepped up to 4x, but I threw it on after fishing some nymphs and I was too lazy to re-tie tippet. Oh well. It still was a fun day!

Hi Retro fishing lakes. We have had good rains and levels are rising. Usually fish the edges both sight and blind casting for Rainbows typically (early season) I usually carry a large selection of different coloured flies both traditional wets and weighted and unweighted fuzzle and wooly buggers Cheers

Hi folks A Magoo fly for winter rainbow trout fishing here in Victoria, Australia

Great buy Joseph and wow what an awesome desk. I have been looking for something like this locally in Australia and usually attract a USD1500 -USD2000 price tag (depending on condition) Cheers VB

Hi FlaFly The inverse is Multiple suppliers = Increased competition = Price Wars = Compromised quality Cheers VB

Hi Noten Great fly and great first attempt. Proportions look good. you will get comments about the hackle but I would fish that in a flash and it will catch!!! I basically only use parachute flies now as they seem to work all day Cheers

Love this fly!

Great job Mike
