 Fly Tier: Lawson Devery |
|
Tying Instruction : 1) Tie in the tail and rib about 3 mm from eye and wind tying thread tightly down the hook to bind them in as flat as possible. 2) Cut of the poly yarn to leave about 3 mm of tail and spread it in a fan shape with dubbing needle or tweezers 3) Wind the rib back up the hook to about 3 mm from eye 4) Encase the poly ball in stretched nylon so that the material becomes as fine as possible. Lock in position just behind the eye, snip off residue. 5) Tie in the peacock herl about 3mm from the ball and wrap this up the hook until it touches the ball, take two or three turns of herl around the base of the ball to set it up and lock off your thread. 6) Whip finish between the eye of the hook and the underside of the suspender ball Note : The idea of this fly is to suspend it by the poly ball in the surface film so that most of the body hangs just below the surface Try it out in a glass of water to see how you got on. |

I started fishing when I was about 6 with my uncle George who was a great (covert) extractor of Salmon from the River Tay, he never took any more than the family needed and tended only to remove fish from stretches of the river owned by the English.
