Do you know if this fly would do well on the river doon or in the Galloway hills as i am a keen cyclist as well as a fisher, if there is a good loch within 20miles from my door the i will cycle to it...very nice fly once again, you should give me and my dad a call the next time you'll be up this way when the season is back in, meanwhile its the bogton for me...
It's a good allround fly on rivers and lochs both for brown trout and seatrout and it will even take salmon..Don't worry if I get a chance I'll drop by..ATB Davie
This looks awesome! My only problem is I dont have blue jay, I have never seen it before, and I dont know what i could substitue for it at the moment. Is it something you use a lot? Any suggestions?
Hi FischLips26, Guinea Fowl dyed blue is one of the best subs for Jay, another good one would be grey partridge..Here in the U.K you can buy blue jay from most shops selling fly tying materials...
Another beautiful fly. One I want to try out. If you would, what size is the ribbing you use? That is another item I can not find locally and will have to order it in.
Sorry about not getting back to you , the size of the rib is Number 14 which is from Veniards but it would be a small from the other companies out there...
hi again dave great to see a variant of one of my most productive flies i fish a black all year usually on the middle except for the duckfly it goes on the bob, i tied a variant years ago using hot orange dyed guinney fowl deadly during the duckfly or at any time , i have some black clarett for the costello and fermoyle fisher yits brilliant colour there on on overcast day ill tie a few up and give them to guests to have a go im sure they will do the biz. ill let u know how we got on cheers
OUTSTANDING!!! Thanks for sharing this fly. I'm a relatively new tyer and love learning from your videos, the different uses of materials, and tying tips.
Thank you for taking the time to share this. There are so little good quality fly videos on YouTube, thanks for adding to the fold of great videos that is a must to watch!
