point fly

[maharg]

Looking for a fly for the point of a traditional cast of flies, something with a little zing.

Plan on using it to attract stockie and overwintered brownies. Something along the line of a wee tadpole mini lure. Dont want it any bigger than an eight or ten. Want a touch of weight and debating either a bead or lead underbody????
What do you think guys?
Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Graham

Hi maharg, I had a few on a size 10 cat type tadpole with a yellow tungsten bead & a wee bit of crystal flash in the tail mate, on my club water, i only put it on because it turned into a big wind and I was to lazy to goto my fastglass, but the brownies were geeing It a skelp every now and then, plus I started to bang them on the muddlers again...


simple but did the job on the day...

Ha ha, managed to fish 9 oot the other day on a half shift, all returned

btw thanks for your help at the open day, it's no true what the others all say about you

If you're fishing something slowly on the top, (like a Sedgehog), then a wee pulling buzzer seems to work for both stockies and residents.
3 or 4 strands of something sparkly for the tail and then a strand of the tail fibre wound over a thread body on a size 10 or 12 grub hook. Cross that with fine silver wire and finish with JC cheeks and longish sparse hen. Works for me
