Default Stragglers
After seeing some good work on here with straggle fritz I picked up a few extra pack and had a mess about.
Still on a learning curve with this, and have a few other ideas to try, but hope you like them.
Tied with either 15mm or 5mm fritz.

Some mini lures for early season work

I like a wee tadpole on the point for early season Graham, the top three will do nicely.

Your not wrong Jimmy.

Going to do a few with a tungsten bead to get right down, and going to do some in an olive shade as well.
All the best to you and yours,
Graham

I can see you're on a mission here Graham. Stragglerise everything or die trying. Some nice ideas there matey, top four and the green tailed spider do the biz for me.

Thanks guys.
Going to refine some of the dressings a bit and add some more detail.
Will have to wait and see what the trout say though.

Did some of these for a customer, the straggle lies really nicely for a 'hackle' it perhaps does not show up that well but it swims and works just fineClick the image to open in full size.
