Hi Alec, only been fly tying for a couple of months but tied a few of these up and had one of my best sessions ever with seven to the net in a couple of hours fished with a slow figure of 8. Thanks 👍
Great fly mate , tied a few up and used them on two local waters on two very hard days and caught on both occasions. Used a chartreuse bead and a yellow sharpie for the back.👍👍👍
@@alecharveyfishingandflytying Thanks for the heads up mate. I have also tied some up in neon red with a red head and a white version. Will let you know if they are world beaters. Thanks again for a winner of a fly.👍👍👍
@@alecharveyfishingandflytying Will do! Thanks Alec. It's my second season fishing the hard water. I have 7 seasons of fly fishing under my belt. Started Spey last year!
Hi, I’ve had some success tying these as a balanced fly on a jig hook with extended front bead on half a pin. A little experimental tie to get balance right then fished under a bung. You have to remember that the fly hangs “ upside” so colour the opposite side of the fly
Cheers Len, it definitely is a fish catcher that's for sure, just done some video footage today of my pal Ken having a great day at Thrunton long crag using it under the indicator, fish, fish, fish 👍🎣🐟🐟🐟
Hi Don, you can use yellow brass beads 3.5mm or 3.8mm depending on how fast you want them to sink, the best permanent marker pens which seem to be the best are copic ones from hobby shops, the colour last lon

Nice one Alan, they are fishing well, only if the water gets dirty they become less effective, thanks for the feed back 👍🎣🐟
@@alecharveyfishingandflytying Thanks for the heads up mate. I have also tied some up in neon red with a red head and a white version. Will let you know if they are world beaters. Thanks again for a winner of a fly.👍👍👍
Hi Alan, the white version and fluro pink version work well 👍🎣🐟
@@alecharveyfishingandflytying Thanks Alec , going to Wellsfield on Thursday and will tie some up tonight. Can’t wait to give them a go. Cheers mate.🍺
Alan, tie some hot pink ones as well, same tying method, tight lines 🎣🐟
I love this! It looks like a cheeze doodle or corn twist! LOL! Can't wait to tie and fish this fly! Thanks, Alec! :-)
Nicole check out my video fishing it under the indicator. Just like you will do under the ice.
Alec Harvey fly tying and the video's will come up. 👍🎣🐟

Yes Alan, I also fish balanced leeches, this pattern will definitely work done the balanced way 👍🎣🐟
That looks a guaranteed fish catcher. Will tie up a couple before my next outing.

Brilliant
Much appreciated, please check out my fishing video to see how productive this pattern is when used under an indicator 🎣🐟
Hi Alec what's the size of the bead and the make of the permanent marker pen
Hi Don, you can use yellow brass beads 3.5mm or 3.8mm depending on how fast you want them to sink, the best permanent marker pens which seem to be the best are copic ones from hobby shops, the colour last lon
very nice what size was the bead any info would be great Thanks Mark
Cheers Mark, I normally use a 3.8mm brass, but you can use a tungsten smaller one if you want to 👍🎣🐟
@@alecharveyfishingandflytying Thanks Alec
Hi Alec. What is the shade of the Copic marker. It will probably have a code on it starting with YR?
The OHUHU art marker number 24 gives a great colour for the top of the fly, it gives the material a mustard look 👍🎣🐟
