I like that , not just for the Roach though the spotty lads will like it as well .

I would like it a little bit darker for my taste ..

Why is this here and not in the tying section ???

Hi Buddy

Tied these specifically for Roach, hence in this section.

Ive found such patterns (e.g perch or Roach patterns) posted in the tying section are often under appreciated by those who arent as crazy as us nutters who fly fish for any thing that swims You know guys who think if its not a trout it aint worth fishing for

Im hoping to "blitz" the canal with damsel patterns for while and see what if any thing turns up .................. vast stretches are still frozen !!

Default Nice

Nice work, I have just started catching coarse fish on the fly last summer. Chub, perch and rudd so far but hope to do more this year. I have picked up some good tips from these threads over the last year. Thanks .
