Happy New Year Lindsay. A nice fly and great alternative to the standard klink for dry & dropper. Really well presented too! Have you used the size 10 hook for demo purposes or is this the size you would actually fish?
Happy New Year Nicholas. Yes, I would fish it at this size if presenting the nymph was the primary goal. When I am getting fish coming to the dry more I will drop down sometimes as small as #14.
Well done Lindsay, for a Scotsman to be able to tie a fly on Ne’erday is amazing, I usually wait until I’ve had a bellyfull of steak pie, terrific dressing mate, my choice of sighter would be UV Chartreuse, and the use of mono as a loop is very economical. Thanks again for another great video. regards and a happy new year . Jimf
Nice fly Lindsay and the loop idea is sound. Me however, when I do get to fish, I only fish one fly at a time so I’ll leave the loop out. Thanks for that dude and welcome to 2021.
Just hit the thumbs up icon folks! It really helps Lindsay and all other Creators keep their channel valid. Nobody makes a pile of money at this unless they do it full time, but every penny helps and I do mean pennies. If somebody donates £1 it takes the place of ten likes, that is important for someone who is producing good quality videos. Tyers like David McPhail are selling personal collection items on eBay go keep his channel open and I think that is a shame. I don't think any creator who makes useful content for us, should be selling personal things to keep teaching us what we enjoy so much. Simple subscribe then thumbs up or down. If you do a thumbs down let the creator know what he or she can do so that you will enjoy their work more. Either way UA-cam does not discriminate, up or down doesn't matter, it shows interaction.
Happy New Year Lindsay!!! Great idea on loop!!! I’ve really gotten into adding snowshoe rabbit to all my CDC flies either as an over/under wing, depending on how I want my wing to sit. I’ll use the removed fluff as the dubbing on the head. It takes more time than synthetics though. Anyway thanks for starting off the new year with a great idea and great looking fly. Wishing you and your family all the the best.
Gee's yesterday I was thinking about using some small opal mirage tinsel for ribbing on a hare's ear nymphs that I tie and an elk wing parachute caddis I tie. It's a fly that works very very well during the Mothers Day Hatch. I like that little loop for the dropper. As for Veevus 30D GSP, that has become my favorite thread these days, strong and little bulk and it takes sharpie colors well. I will be doing a number of larger dries like this for use as an indicator dropper set up. Bone Dry is great stuff. I think the fishing braid line would work well for this application if costs are a factor. A 6 to 10-pound test should be fine. tippet rings are pretty cheap and a fly used as an indicator, you don't need many.
Hiya Lindsay cracking fly and Awesome tie Pal, fishing up at Dunkeld next week for Brown trout from the bank and was hoping you could recommend a good team of flies for me. All the best and tight lines Peter.
@@Pete.108 This time of year the fish might be looking up a good selection of sedges will serve you well and some dry hoppers Ginger and Black. Also worth taking along some GRHE and tadpole patterns. Hope that helps pal.
Happy new year, its not a video camera pal its the Lumix G80 which is a mirror less camera. I use it for video mostly. It is capable of shooting in 4k but I don't need that kind of resolution.

You are so welcome!
Thank you Lindsay for this beautiful New Years gift. I admire you.

Must do few klinkhammers with that kind of loop. Thanks
No problem 👍

You are so welcome!

Thanks Jeff, I am a huge fan of Snowshoe so versatile.
Thanks for sharing Lindsay happy new year to you and your family
Happy new year!
Great pattern good shout about the wing material ££££👍

That's a lot of layers. This fly could be called the dagwood sandwich.
Happy new year!

Hi George, thanks for watching. I fish quite tree lined rivers and loose quite a few rigs so the old micro rings soon start adding up.
Nice tie Lindsay, happy new year mate
Thanks, you too!
Happy new year another fantastic fly keep up the good work

NIce nymph, great idea for the loop of tippet, do you tie directly to the loop, or to the hook through the loop?
The tippet connecting the nymph goes directly to the loop Lee.
Happy new year, have a great year
Same to you!
