Naffoff fly

[wingman]

More experimentation again useing different combinations....ooh but isn't that what fly tying is about you silly boy....er yeah....I think.
Tied on an alan jackson north country hook size 17.

Thread - pearsalls grey
Body - brown goose biot
Thorax - natural hare
Hackle - very small snipe breast feather (actually more of a creamy brown mottled effect that doesn't appear to show up in the photo).

Naffoff fly (well its better than just naff)



Cheers and thanks for looking, any comments taken with gratitude.

Nice one. I will tie one up for our lochs up here.

Nicely tied. It would work very well as a midge imitation.

Thanks gus it does look a bit gnatty so next time I see a good midge hatch I'll whip it on then naffoff

Looks like a really good fly to me, would work and rivers as well as stillwaters. Hell id stick it in the bath and see if anything might take it.

That's a real killer looking pattern if ever there was one.

Thanks arkle and andypandy. If a nosey parker ever comes up and asks me what fly I'm catching all those big trout on I can tell him naffoff.

I can tell him naffoff.

Lovely simple, elegant looking fly - I can see that working in just about any situation.
