  • Hi Davie,

    what would be your - never leave "home without" flies for uk seatrout.

    cheers g

  • Hi AAAGTE,

    Here is a list of flies that I used many years ago as unfortunatley our rivers now have very few or none...Medicine Fly, Silver or Pearl bodies Stoats Tail, Sweeny Todd Original and the one above, Black and Silver Surface Lure, Silver and Original Goats Toe, Gray Monkey and finally Claret Connemara..

    I hope this is of some help to you....

    All the best Davie

  • could you make another sea trout fy???

  • Hi helopoblgwyn,

    If there's a pattern which is popular and I have the materials then I would be happy to tye it for you. The problem where I live is that the seatrout are like hens teeth very rare to see and catch due to the fish farms that have polluted the seas where I live with sealice which has wiped them out...ATB Davie

  • Davie:

    Was fishing for smallmouth with an orange variant of this fly, near the surface and i started catching carp one after another! What do you think the carp thought it was... so i can tye a cheaper version without a streamer hook... I ruled out crawfish because it was not on the bottom... Thanks

  • Hi zachthefisherman,

    The Sweeny Todd does give a great impression of a small fry pattern which it's meant to do, so I would say that the orange version that you tyed did the same so well done on doing this...All the best Davie

see all
