tctrout 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2014 Practicing various techniques, with one being tying CDC parachutes without the use of a tool for the CDC (such as bulldog clip); I always do well with patterns tied in this style, especially on pressured fish in slower moving water.

Crackaig 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2014 Colin, Did you ever pick up the last ones or has someone with light fingers visited me? I have a couple that do so I would not be surprised. Baserisk tail is like squirrel but not as hard or stiff. Its stiffer than Arctic fox though. I have a good supply if you would like to try some. Also lots of black dyed swan that I've used for the body on these. Also I now have the materials to tie a very old fly something of a favourite of mine, but what is it called? Hook: 18 B/L Dry Fly Thread: Vevus 12/0 white (Just trying this out, not sure if I like it yet). Tail: Red Wool Body: Blue/Yellow Macaw Tail Hackle: Honey Dun I love the way the colour of the body changes with the angle you view it from. Cheers, C.

mikechell 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2014 Right side up ... it looks just like one. When I was fishing the Jersey shoreline last year, the sand eels looked just like your fly. Should attract some attention, hopefully the BIG kind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
