Hi Davie,I'm actually kicking myself here,I've not been on a loch for 10yrs and was searching forums for weeks for patterns an dnaterial lists to begin tying again,wish I had seen your vids sooner ,ah but I know where to come now.Topman Davie thanks for posting,
hey davie, is there any chance that u film your workstation of tying flys and your whole materials, must be very interesting!! by the way i´m a great fan of your videos, i alway look forward for the next, keep them coming please, greetings from austria!
I notice you favour uni 8/0 thread in a lot of your patterns, I've just had a slight problem with the 8/0 thread in that it some times unravels off the spool catchin in the arms of the bobbin holder. I thouht the tension in the thread might be the problem so i opened the arm slightly. Could you please recommend how i could fix this.
I'm not sure what happened to my last reply to your question so I hope this works. The main reason the thread does this is simple, there's too much thread on the 200 yard spools, even if it was put on much tighter it would still ripple to the sides and on to the arms of the bobbin much like many of mine have done. The only way would be to have spools of thread with no more than 100yards on them.
I mostly fish from the bank so when I can I would always fish into the wind allowing the Buzzers to drift naturally towards me but I would also give it an odd twitch and flick of the rod giving the Buzzer a wee bit more life, most of the time this would trigger a fish to have a go.
Deadly looking wee Buzzer there Davie!
Got a competition on Sunday so I'll give these a shot!
Many Thanks,
Best Regards,
