Dry fly durability; dubbed body or quill body?
jimmywhiplash replied to Hellgrammite's topic in The Fly Tying Bench
Hi I like both dubbed and quill When I use quill I put a very fine wire rib up the body I use old transistor wire which is around half a mm thick and is very strong for its thickness this just helps make the fly last a bit longer -
Your pattern is a winner in my book well tied sir

Hi, do you mean when you say trout turn to meat eaters that they turn in to ferrox "ferrox is the term we use when trout start to become like fresh water pike they eateverything which they can get" over here they are pretty rare but they do exist there are several dedicated groups that fish for them in our deep lochs
