As ever great technique with good use of materials. When trout are fixated on damsels. No matter at what stage of their evolution. Be it nymph, emerger, adult, or spent having not having the right fly especially post nymph is an instant disaster. Especially getting the colour right back in the eighties as I was early into fly fishing and also just starting to spend time behind the vice. I used to make several trips per year from the North East of the UK to The midlands both Lincolnshire and the Anglian Waters like Rutland during early and mid summer at several Lincolnshire waters I saw an vivid electric/kingfisher blue damsel/dragon fly. The fish ignored everything else when they appeared. They seemed much lighter and brighter than the one in the north east. I managed to source a couple of blue dyed buck tails. I mixed a blend of dye to lighten and intensify one buck tail to the correct colour. Then based on a detached damsel seen in UK Trout Fisherman absorbed into Trout and Salmon. With buck tail over a heavy thick nylon mono line core. The next year on the same waters I had both blues, some light and darker olive, and brown. Only to find that the main colour on my next trip was red. Nature just like trout is a fickle beast
I enjoyed watching the excellent video. You’re always helpful and I appreciate it. By any chance, could you offer delivery service to South Korea? PLZ~~~~
Never ceases to amaze me how many times you guys come up with new patterns ! Great pattern will definitely try this one out.
Nice use of the d-rib - I also tied similar with micro-tubing with small wire threaded through it.
This is so simple looking but I’m sure this sucker is going to be a big trout magnet, great pattern guys 👍
Simple, fishy, love it!
Are we gonna be able to purchase the drop back bungs anytime soon?
