I tie Hal Jannsen's marabou dragon - found it in one of Denny Rickard's books. Brookies love it. But so messy to tie with a large metal paper clip.. this tool is so much better. Great demo - as ever with your stuff - thanks...
Phil, I really like your clips...with the exception of the fact that you find it necessary to drag every fish out of the water, tweek it's tail, keep it out of the water for waaayy too long, thereby insuring that it will die soon! Going from a near zero gravity atmosphere to holding them out of the water is very bad practice. I worked in a trout hatchery for a while. You are killing almost every one of these fish; not right away always, but slowly with skin fungus at minimum. The fungus takes up to four weeks to infect their gills, then they are done. You can do better.
Thanks for sharing learning lots on that fly !
Thanks Murray. It has been a great fly for me too. Lots of movement once it gets wet.
Cheers, Phil
Great teaching tool video Mr Rowley thank you for sharing Cheers!
