Lucian.Vasies 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2018 It is a fly popular on rivers from north Alps ( Swiss part close to France), France and Slovenia too. This model is considered a searching fly for late Spring and for Summer. It is usually tied on size #14 but you can go down till #18. Works very well on slow and medium running rivers. In Slovenia or Jura mountains from France is considered a must have fly. If you will visit those parts of Europe then I recommend to have this fly in your boxes cheers, Lucian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2018 I like that little splash of yellow on the one. Both are great looking flies. Your skill at tying them is excellent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tjm 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2018 Beautiful bugs, makes me more interested in CDC. I'm guessing that in #16 they will catch fish in most of N. America also, probably beyond my skill. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucian.Vasies 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2018 thank guys, Mike you are very kind but tying this fly is super simple, no needed special skills. Even a beginner who knows how to use a dubbing loop can do this fly. In fact is a 3-5 min fly to tie Here is the video: https://youtu.be/ikBVCWQfmYo Thanks, Lucian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lucian.Vasies 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2018 @thanks Grape @feathers5 - just as a simple dry fly, nothing special. I use it on super clear rivers with medium-slow running waters. I also use something similar but tied wet with less hackle, usually just a half cdc feather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FIN-ITE 34 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2018 It is similar to a Cinberg or Jingler, where a soft hackle is wound in front. Lucian uses CDC in place of the typical hackle used in the two I mentioned. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucian.Vasies 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2018 Agree, based on info received from a friend of mine, this model is tied for more then 80years. It is common in Jura mountains from France and was noticed first time between first and second world war. Was tied often with body made of quill from hen feathers . Something similar was tied with yellow and red silk too. I used a lot the yellow body version on rivers from Slovenia, extremely efficient Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
