@@lindsayiflyfish definitely on the river black, brown, or dark olive, drab with minimal preferably zero bing. On the river trout go for food not WTF’s dat?
Looks good Lindsay!! I'll try one with a green holographic tag too to see how it looks. Cheers for the upload, was wondering what to do this afternoon!. ATB Chris.
Nice tye Lindsay. I like the added jungle cock which gives it some life. I've got an end of season match at Chew tomorrow, so I'll add some of these to the fly box 👌
Thanks for another interesting fly. I’ll bet this would work in a saltwater version for mackerel as well. I’ve never seen a pattern using split jungle cock eyes before. Is there a reason other than saving material?
If you use a cheap cape like mine the feathers are often slit anyway, I just help it along. I think maybe in a bigger size it would be great for Mackerel.
A hair winged cormorant will work on mackerel. Even down to a size 12. About an inch long especially if some flash/crystal is in or under the wing. A single fly on a six pound leader at dawn or dusk can be as close to a cold water bonefish as you could get in the UK. Sandeels or garfish are also a possible bonus catch.
Thank you so much Lindsay. As always, a very nice fly. Thanks for sharing and regards from Belgium
Thanks for watching glad you like it 👍
Nice Cormie Lindsay I will need to tie some up later 🐟🎣
Good early season.

Good video. One to tie over winter.
Thanks pal👍
In smaller sizes an absolute star in the six to eight weeks before the end of trout season on the rivers
Better in black.

Lindsay if this is a minnow pattern do you set it up to appear to be after a nymph? It's a nice pattern, I'm sure I will tie it.
It's not tied as a minnow pattern but as a general lure pattern. I can see it being taken as a small fry pattern though early season.
