Default My first fly - Swann's Black Dazzler

So my first attempt.

In true tradition I have named it.

Looks good for a first attempt. Keep that on your bench and you'll be amazed at how quick you improve. On second thoughts keep the photo, go fish the fly and catch with it.

See you tomorrow on the Churnet Alex. If you catch on it, make sure you've tied a second one for me

Well done mate... the first of hundreds of thousands! Not sure how yer gonna fish this one. I suspect the body will very quickly take on water and overwhelm the CDC and sink, so I reckon it's out for a serious dry fly. However, I would have no qualms about fishing it loch stlye on any dropper position (depending on what yer other flies are). It'll catch anyway. Good man.
