I am sure you will catch other types of fish with this fly , I have not had problems with short strikes , as I fish it slow , the fish tend to suck it in no problem , the mini zonker is soft and they tend not to refuse it .👍🏻🎣🐟
There is the fly tying guild which meetvat Dinnington on a Tuesday night once a month . They have different people tying on the night. Very friendly bunch 👍🏻🎣🐟
It looks like the pattern I've been tying for yrs for imitating crayfish in Colorado!!!
Yes , that's what it is , and trout over here, like to eat them as well, especially when fish are feeding down near the bottom 👍🏻🎣🐟
That looks great in the water there , I’ll have try get a few of them knocked up Alec, cheers atb Deka 👍🏻
Get some tied up in black , olive, and brown .
You will definitely catch on them right now 👍🏻🎣🐟
Looks good to me, I’m sure it would catch other fish besides trout as well. Do you notice getting short strikes with such a short shank hook?

I’ve just been given a load of fly tying stuff, do you know if there’s anywhere in Northumberland that teach how to tie?

Not convinced with this one Alex, must be a lot of daft trout down your way
Flappers have been good for many, many years now during the winters , give it a swim you will definitely catch 👍🏻🎣🐟
This should be fine the movement is key
