Gold Bodied Willie Gunn Wet
Tying up some gold-bodied Willie Guns for a day of Salmon fishing earlier this week got me thinking of possible loch fly variations using the same or similar materials. This is the first combination I have tied up, very much an attractor pattern but that was almost a given. I suspect this will work as well for Trout or Salmon in lochs.
Pattern:
Hook: Fulling Mill FM5090 Comp Heavyweight Size 10
Thread: Semperfli Classic Waxed Red 12/0
Tail: Veniard Glo-brite Floss No.3
Rib: Semperfli 0.2mm Wire Bright Gold
Body: UTC Holographic Gold Tinsel
Body Hackle: Whiting Farms Hen Orange and Yellow wound together
Head Hackle: Whiting Farms 4B Hen Dyed Black

Zulu Variant

A Zulu variant, using a red and black combination in both body and head hacles. Simple and effective throughout the season, especially around this time of year. Pattern: Hook: Fulling Mill FM5090 Comp Heavyweight Size 12 Thread: Semperfli Nano Silk 12/0 Black Tail: Glo-brite Floss No. 3 Rib: Lagartun Oval Tinsel Silver Body: Fulling Mill Seal X Dub Bibio Body Hackle: Whiting Farms Hen Black Hea...
Holy Grail
Просмотров 3 тыс.14 дней назад
The Holy Grail a Caddis emerger pattern that was suggested/recommended to me. As I understand it, this is more of a series of flies than a single pattern. It's a reasonably simple tying, but you do need to be careful about positioning the bead and making sure you leave enough room to tie off the thorax cover and position the hackle. Pattern: Hook: Fulling Mill FM5060 Czech Nymph Size 14 Bead: G...
Mallard and Claret
Просмотров 39521 день назад
Revisiting an old favourite, the Mallard and Claret was one of my go-to flies when I first started to fish hill lochs. A classic, reliable fishtaker, there is no good reason for it to fall out of favour.

Leggy Pulling Muddled Daddy
Просмотров 48321 день назад
Leggy Pulling Muddled Daddy, unfortunately, I left my first tying of this pattern in a tree recently, but only after catching a nice fish on it. It was too high to be recovered, so I needed to tie up a couple of replacements and took the opportunity to make a video of the tying to share. Following some feedback, I decided to try this video without any music. Is this an improvement or not? Patte...
Heather Fly Half Hog Hopper
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.21 день назад
On a recent fishing trip in the North of Scotland, I saw some Heather Fly (Bibio pomonae) on the wing. This inspired me to tie up a few Half Hog Hoppers to represent this fly. The Half Hog Hopper style is very effective and can be tied in various colours to match multiple insects. They present a vulnerable prey image to the fish and are often very effective. So having a few in your fly box(es) ...

Experimenting with some of the excellent new Flex-Floss from Fulling Mill, and using a holographic tinsel underbody to give this fly an inner glow and really nice body colour. Fulling Mill's Flex-Floss comes in a wide range of colours and a coupl eof sizes. The generous pack means that there will be plently opportunity to experiment with lots of colour combinations. This is a simple pattern tha...

A Olice CDC Cruncher, a slightly more complicated varient of this excellent pattern. The additional sparse CDC collar provides additional fish attracting movement to the fly.

Hopefully the music on my more recent stuff is more tolerable 😂

    • @Robbiemdl
      @Robbiemdl 7 месяцев назад

      Thanks Tom, glad you like the fly. The CDC is primarily there to add extra movement, especially when fishing the fly really slowly. It may also trap an air bubbles or two which can attract fish.

  • @carlhughes9584
    @carlhughes9584 8 месяцев назад

    Prefer it with CDC wing anyday

    • @Robbiemdl
      @Robbiemdl 8 месяцев назад

      CDC wings absolutely have their place, especially in slower and smooter water, or when the fish are being particularly difficult. However, I find that CDC flies can be high-maintenance especially after catching a fish. In faster water and when the fish are willing to accept it I prefer a deer hair wing for easy of use, maintenance and robustness.
