Fly Fishers are a funny breed they will either stubbornly stick to what catches them fish or they will always be looking for the next best fly fishing pattern. I am 100% positive that flies just don't stop working they just fall from favour and sometimes even memory. When I was a whipper snapper of an angler this fly would hardly be off my cast. The combination of black and green was a firm favourite and seldom let me down. Fast forward to the old wrinkly me and I cannot remember the last time I tied one on! Do you have an old favourite you used to fish all the time that never sees the light of day now? Let me know in the comments section below.
Ah Lindsay
One of my all time favourites ....still use this and many others from " old days " 😆
A great version Lindsay, of an all time classic pattern.....Yes I do still use them in competition sizes and they are still as deadly as they were 20 - 30 years ago.
Love Vivas, Ace of spades and Dog knoblers
Simple answer is yes and they still work!
not fished this fly for years maybe time to tie a few thanks Lindsay
Haven't seen this fly before iv just got into fly fishing and tying couple of years ago it certainly looks great and will be giving it go thanks 😊
Haven’t fished a viva for years, but I like this tying, so will do a few, another oldie was the ace of spades with JC cheeks deadly.
I have caught both brown trout and arctic char with the Viva here in ICELAND 🇮🇸
The viva is certainly a blast from the past. It had many contemporary flies such as the Christmas Tree, the Baby Doll, the Appetizer, the Dog Nobbler and the Nailer to mention just a few. Do you still have any of these still lurking in your fly boxes?
Tks lindsay for this tutorial could you show a competition gauge sometime lm in pa across the pond and have no clue tks again 😊
Tidy.
