21st Century Grayling Bugs

[andypandy]

Decided to tie a selection of grayling bugs using modern materials as most of the previous flies i have tied have been relatively normal. I used these patterns before the weather got to cold last year and caught over 40 fish in 2 sessions..

Fire Red UV Grayling Bug


Pink UV Grayling Bug


Lime UV Grayling Bug


Sunburst UV Grayling Bug


Lime Red Head Bug


Olive UV Grayling Bug


Pink UV R/H Grayling Bug


Hares Ear R/H Grayling Bug


Thanks for looking

Great selection there, particularly like the pink ones, think they would be very effective and might pass for something shrimpy also.

Andy,
I am glad you said they did well. I ordered a bunch of that translucent single edge fritz (or whatever its called) to play with. It would be a real pisser to find out that I wasted time and money.
Nice bugs, I like them and will copy a couple of them

Very interesting bugs, thoroughly novel. Perhaps a tad modern for my taste (gosh, am I getting that old already?) but inspiring none the less.

Were they all equally producing, or did any of them stand out?

Cheers!

The Fire red and the pink ones really seemed to be the pick of the bunch but i did have a few on the olive and lime too.. think i only had one on the sunburst one..
