nice fly, excuse my stupid question, how do you fish it ? like a dry or wet one ? i guess like a dry one but i wanna be sure. i`m lacking materials and i`m using other stuff to get the flotability properties. thanks again and keep up the good work!!! very very nice flyes.
This fly can be fished as a dry, emerger or even a wet just below the surface it will give the impression of a few flies this pattern works really well for both rainbows and brown trout...I'm glad that you like the flies..
WOW amazing set of flies there Davie, love the look of all of them will be giving them a bash at the vice later on. We had a few fish on flies simular to this one but never knew what there where called cheers for the video
Another lovely wee fly! I really like the half hog hoppers, caught many a rainbows on them. I like the way your tying them more than mine, going to change my method.
The multi-colours is a nice touch.
Thanks for doing the video, now back to work for me.
The pheasant tail legs I bought from the Glasgow Angling Centre and they are pre-knotted so I don't have to tye them, not that I can't but they make life much easier..
the easiest way to make the legs is by pinching the tips of the pheasant tail with your hackle pliers, w/out the hackle pliers i find it very hard to make the knots on them with my naked fingers.. that way you can make as many knots as you like. i like to get as close as possible to the tips in order for them to match with size 14-18s. I'll try to post my video up soon and share my idea; at least the way i do mine.

@pabloberninzoni you can find on youtube how to do it. They use a latch hook tool which was designed for latch hooking rugs.
