  1. for me one size up hackle and short para axe. A longer axe will often make the fly to fall on a side...
  2. Thanks a lot Silver! I was wondering why it happens in this way Thanks for help! cheers, Lucian
  3. Hi guys, Here a perdigon for crystal clear waters: Hook: Demmon 633 #16 Thread: Uni Trico 17/0 Tail: Coq de Leon pardo Body: Troutline UV Flat Perdigon Tinsel – Pearl Coating: Troutline UV Resin Bead: Tungsten in copper color http://youtu.be/Q8RjdGaFj8U
  4. Hi guys, @Thanks Mike, very kind of you @Daniel!, hey, how are you? @ Bimini, it is a rotary Tvrdek Vice - made manually by Jan Tvrdek a nice guy from Czech Republic. It is one of my favorite vice. cheers Lucian
  5. Something easy and effective that works these days: cheers Lucian
  6. Hi SilverCreek The fly is not supposed to stay vertical in water. It supposed to have the body in angle, at least sort off ... Like a Klinkhammer emerger or like a buzzer emerger: Of course that are moments when a buzzer or a aquatic emerger has the body vertical suspended in water. But usually the flies has the bodies in angle. I tested some emergers similar tied with this one bellow And I compared with this bellow " I fished them in the same moments when i noticed consistent hatches. Those with loop where more effective then the simple ones with the vertical position of the body. My only problem is in tying these emergers with cdc loop. Are more time consuming and I do not like to spend too much time to tie a certain fly The emerger tied with cdc buts untrimmed stay in water exactly like these ones with CDC loop. More than that are easy to tie and more balanced. So I dropped to tie loop emergers and now I'm stick at these kind of emergers like this one presented . cheers Lucian PS I fish a lot on grayling, a more careful fish in picking flies. I fish on waters with high fishing pressure where fish are educated and careful. Those emerger with collars will not catch a fish in hours... too bushy to be picked up by a trout or grayling in those rivers...
  7. For fishing late in the day on slow running waters: Works on lakes too . cheers Lucian
  8. Hi guys, Here is my own way to tie my spent flies. Other method is with fixing the CDC in dubbing loop - a Marc Petitjean way. I found the last one more durable but it takes at least 3 times more to make it... Which is your version? Thanks, Lucian
  9. Hi Henry, sorry for my late reply, I was out for testing some flies on rivers in Austria. Your buzzer looks great. Probably you need to use a little bit more white gills but even so, the fly is great tied:) Hi Meeshka, Thanks for your kind words. You will find plenty of materials in your local fly shop, the guys from there will appreciate your support For tying perdigon flies you need just a thread and tinsel ( there is Peacock and red Uni tinsel that is fantastic. or mylar tinsel from the same producer ). For size #12 hook you can use a size 4mm tungsten or even larger like a size 4.5mm bead. Lucian
  10. this is the model that I had some nice trout on Alpine lakes It is simple to tie, just 3-4 min for one, cheap materials and effective like hell!
  11. Here is my favorite version of PT for muddy rivers or for fishing in deep pools: This is what I use these days when the snowing is melting and the rivers are high. cheers Lucian
  12. You can tie in any color combination you like. The most important is to have a fly colored in the colors from your local insects. I also tie with light grey colored bodies and I use olive-green biots: Another quite important think that I noticed is to make the body not very slim. If will be slim, then the biots will cover when you wrap the tinsel. So here bellow you can see the body and how slim it is, in fact even this one I consider it almost too slim. On the other side if is too fat will not sink very fast but the size of the bead can be increased
  13. Hi, I'm glad that you find the model interesting. Here is a link for step by step: http://globalflyfisher.com/patterns/the-universal-nymph The fly was invented by Steve Schweitzer . It has a little bit of stonefly nymph in it and mayfly nymph too. I consider it a great searching pattern due to grey color- brown from tails and side body and pearly back combined with partridge legs It take any kind of fish, from trout to grayling, whitefish and even bass. cheers Lucian
  14. If you like F Fly then you should tie this version, I love it and for trout works great
  15. Here is the Universal Nymph originated by Steve Schweitzer and published long time ago on Globalflyfisher. I discovered this model more than 10 years ago and I still tie it because it catch trout all the time. At least for me: Recipe: Hook: BL size #12-16, I prefer Bemmon 900BL which it has the shank 2x long Thread: UTC orange Ribbing: Tinsel wire -copper or gold Tail: Biot in rusty brown dyed from goose Body: Spiky Natural Hare dubb Thorax: MR dubbing - pepper Thorax Cover: pearl band in 2mm wide Legs: English partridge or French Partridge Hot Spot: Neck made of UTC orange thread
  16. These are not "natural" kind of nymphs but in years I noticed a strange curiosity. The fish take them often when these kind of flies are in the hunting zone. if they do not take them, will take the other nymph. I tied them as much as possible: These kind of nymphs are really simple to tie, just wrap sam pearly material over the colored tying thread, synthetic dubbing and a hot colored bead. Will sink fast in the feeding area.
  17. Hi Bob, - dubbing is a mix of different natural and synthetic fibers: hare mask, squirrel, cricetus and purple, blue, white, red and green synthetic ones. - I use jig hooks because I have less snags between rocks. I use short nymphing technique and I like to play the nymph where I presume that fish are ( I play them and jigg them like we do when we fish with lures for bass - for example ) Thanks Lucian
  18. and here is the light version of the dark one: Somebody told me why I put partridge. And asked me why I use so big hackle, there are no proportions there. I told him that he is right, the insect have just a big dark brown-black head and dark small legs. But I noticed that this peeping caddis catch more than a better imitation. Probably because the bright colors attract the fish, probably because the long Partridge legs work interesting in water cheers Lucian
  19. Sorry but is not true. Even lenses from Carl Zeiss are not providing 100% uv protection. More than that polycarbonate ages quite fast. Polycarbonate loosees the properties very easy.... The coating layers are affected too.Just make a simple test,take a look wearing your eyeglasses at an uv neon, if you see it then your eyeglasses are not so great. Or use you uv coating torch if you see when is open or closed.
  20. Thanks for your kind words guys. About biot, any kind of natural biot ( goose, turkey, peacock, even dove or eagle ) will look nice because will give you the grey/brown tint when you make the turns.
  21. I really do not find the CDC fragile. My dry flies are based on CDC, from size #10 down to #22, never had a problem why do you consider it fragile?
