Fly tying/Montaje de moscas - Tricoptero ‘Retirer’ (Davy Parker)

Welcome (Bienvenidos) to Neil’s Spanish Fly Box, where we take a look at some of the flies used in Spain and elsewhere.
¿Hola, que tal? En principio, este es un video diseñado para pescadores que entienden inglés, pero por supuesto, ¡cualquiera puede verlos! Si eres un pescador de habla hispana y te gustaría comentar en español, te responderé en español. ¡No seas tímido!
Learn about some new (some, not so new) and interesting fly patterns, that can be found in every Spanish fly fisherman’s armoury, including some ‘must haves’! Real flies for real fly fishers.
I have fly fished in Spanish competitions for over a decade, on rivers and still water, learning a great deal about the Spanish way of fishing and the flies that are used.

Hello Mike, good to hear from you. Glad you like the fly and if you tie some up, please let me know how you get on.😉

Interesting shuck!! Well Done!!!

[@neilsspanishflybox]

Hello Bob, good to hear from you. How’s the shoulder? Agreed - as I said, it all looks a bit different, big and scary, but it’s provenance is impecable. It is designed to sit low in the water, so just put floatant on the wing and not the body.👍

Interesting bug. Thanks

[@neilsspanishflybox]

Hello there, good to hear from you. Indeed, an interesting fly that floats well and catches trout - not a lot more that you can ask for really! Give it a whirl, I’m sure that you won’t be disappointed.👍

Good looking fly. I’m intrigued by the shuck, which I’ve never seen on a dry fly. I’ll have to tie up a few. Thanks

[@neilsspanishflybox]

Hello Steve, we often tie shucks, in their various forms, on dry flies as emergers. I think this fly looks so out of kilter, because the shuck is relevant to the size of the fly and it is a large fly! If you tie some up, be careful not to over dress the top and bottom deer hair wings, 15 or so fibres is ok. I think the original Retirer had a grey aerowing type fibre between the deer hair, but I quite like the tan. This fly was first tied during an international competition and I think the materials and tools that he had to hand were limited, hence no use of a hair stacker? It’s ’rough and ready’, but an extremely effective fly.👌

I like the triple wing. Should float well all day.

Hello Michael, yes, I think the only thing to sink it is a trout! I really enjoy fishing dry dropper - whilst your eye is on the dry, you just don’t know whether it will disappear by being pulled under or engulfed!! As a single fly, a great representation of a caddis fly. 👌
