Hi Roy,

Good to see you and your flies are here. I'm always impressed by their creativity and tying skill level. Are you going to be at the ClearWater Junction Fly tying event? Hopefully I'll get there.

I'll look forward to seeing you there if you can make it, Mark.

I booked our room this week

 

Later,

I like the look of the fly. Have you tried fishing it? It would be interesting to see how it floats in the water.

Garren It hangs on its hackle, sinks its body; drags the tippet down below the surface film for clean presentation and it has caught hundreds, nay, 1000's of fish

I have been using this fly in preference to any other emerger for about thirty years.

It catches fish.

 

Tie it and try it

Hi Roy,

I just read Fish & Fly and saw that you were part of an article. I will have to give it a try. Makes sense about the tippet. What do you use as a post to tie the hackle around?

Scotfly has an excellent stepbystep on this link.

There's also

which is a bit more crazy, photoshoot by my girlfriend julia.

 

Enjoy.

For better tying instruction the Scotfly is better. Time moves on, things get refined.

Good Day,

 

Well tied fly! You know - I think it is important to have a few backward flies in the box.

Agreed, Steelie, I fish virtually nothing else, just changing size and recipe to suit

They are good for hanging a nymph underneath too

Cheers,

Roy
