This is a simple little fly but I would highly recommend it for those fussy fish.. Bushcraft U.S.A

hi davie, does this sit down like a klink? i can really see the difference between this a klink except in probably sits lower? does it act like a shuttlecock except it lies flat?

thanks

[DavieMcPhail]

Hi fourmations,

It does lie flat on the surface as the tail helps keep it up but I do like the tail slightly longer than normal at times which has really worked for me...

All the best Davie

youve made so many tying videos, do you find a urge to talk to yourself as if in a commentary even when your not filming?

[DavieMcPhail]

Hi mckiller45,

Do you mean do I practice talking through a pattern before I film myself and the answer is no, but I should because sometimes I feel I have said too much or not enough. If I was selling them then I would spend a lot more time putting these videos together..

All the best Davie

forgot to mention, what colour are the coq de leon fibres

[DavieMcPhail]

Hi OfficialPatterson,

The Coq-de-Leon I used was Pardos Oconchado which has a nice white and black speckle, but use whatever you can find..

All the best Davie

Hi OfficialPatterson,

I would always have one or two tyed with a colour like pink for bad light and as well in other sizes, and yes I would use this fly on a stillwater but more in the size 10s to14s..

I have just uploaded a tying of a mayfly which has this.

All the best Davie

[OfficialPatterson]

Could u tie this with a pink wing for low-light and maybe a size or two smaller?

also, you can use these on stillwaters can't you?

[DavieMcPhail]

Hi Trozellify,

The tail fibres are Coq-de-Leon..

All the best Davie

[Trozellify]

I didn't catch what the tail fibers are?
