As promised in my last post, now I present this deadly fly pattern. A few months ago while looking for soft hackle flies, I found an interesting website with lots of useful videos for the fly tier and fishermen. The mentioned site is called 'onstream-guide' and the author of the fly is Jonathan Barnes.
I'll present the way I tied this fly, for the original click on the link above.
Hook: D04BL HW size 12
Thread: Power Silk
Abdomen: Antron
Wing: CDC
Hackle: Genetic Saddle - Ghost Grizzly size 14 + Partridge Natural
1. Attach the hook firmly in the vice, and run on apply your thread base, then tie in 3-4 fibres from a partridge feather as a tail.
2. Build the abdomen with the antron till 2/3 of the shank.
3. Tie in the CDC feather.
4. Tie in the grizzly hackle and run 2 turns behind the CDC and 3 in front of it.
5. Add the partridge feather and run not more than 2 - 2 1/2 rows, whip finish, colore the head and apply a drop of head cement on the thread.
6. Voila this is the fly:
Then jingler is my favourite early season dry fly. The hungry trout after winter seem to find it completely irresistable.
ReplyDeleteWill have to try your Duck's dun/Jingler cross over it looks good!
Thank you Dan ! This fly was a great surprise for me. I'm fishing most of the time with nymphs and streamer and then the experiment with this fly and the amazing result. This pattern will be the reason for more dry fly fishing in the future for me !;)
