Hi Davie, lovely fly the centipede legs did you get them from alva fly fishing, Portugal with the frogs hair dubbing? by the way frogs hair seems finer than other dubbings i like using it for small flies its neater the smaller the hooks get, another nice lesson. Regards Alan

huh that's a pretty cool twist, I tied a couple the other day from a recipe I found on the net, just a dubbed body sans hackle and just a CDC feather as an under wing, I use 1 feather folded over into 3 thicknesses 'cause I'm a tightwad, seems to float fine in the water butt, so it should do well on the river, no hackle lets the body sit a bit lower in the water possibly giving the impression of an emerger or one that has got stuck in the surface tension... Tight lines!

Hi Davie,
I love the videos and have learned a tremendous amount as a beginner. I'm curious about the absence of a wire rib - I've always assumed it makes the fly more durable and thats why I do it. I'd prefer to skip it, though. Do you find this fly lasts a few fish?

Hi adamfkimball,
A rib running through a hackle like you said would last longer but to be honest I have caught many fish with a hackle tyed like this and I have never had one come loose..The fly that I used a lot with the hackle wound up like in the video was a Griffiths Gnat a great pattern when Black Gnats are around, I caught plenty of rainbows at a fishery I used to work at and these were fish averaging 2 to 3 pounds...
All the best Davie

I'll be trying this tying and thanks so much for posting Davy. Its slightly different from the version i use re: use of CDC. Would you use floatant on this version?

Hi door2yourheart ,
Yes I would use a floatant on this fly and any fly that I tye using CDC as It will float much longer.
All the best Davie
