Pick the winner!

[SharkeyP]

I tied up a few bugs today, experimenting with some new materials from Fly Tying Boutique. I wanted something other than my usual GRHE, something smaller for low water conditions. It got to about 2pm and I realised I had a small window of opportunity to test them out so I set off for my local club water, armed with my 10' 4wt to have a live firing exercise to see which (if any) could catch me a fish. I'd have to say it was tough going, and the usual hot spots failed to turn up a winner.

In the end I had one fish and dropped one, both coming to the same fly. Anyone care to hazard a guess as to the winning pattern?


"Firebug"


"Brassie"


"GreenThing"


"GreyGrub"

A few bead head nymphs as a prize to the first correct answer. I'll post a picture of the successful pattern in a Wild Brown Trout's top lip sometime tomorrow. One in four chance, not the hardest competition ever!

Hi Sharkey

Been on the Ribble today PAAS water at Mitton. River too low IMO but it was nice to return to river fishing with a 9' 5# rod.

I'm going for the Green Thing only because small Dawson's Olives have been catching on the Lower Ogden.

All little beauts, but I'll say the bottom one

My money's on number 4. Looks the buggiest.

Has to be the Firebug

Whichever one you had on when a fish actually clocked it.

Brassie for me. Which ever one all would catch on their day

[SharkeyP]

We have winner! (obviously) But who?


I'll post the proof when I'm back at my Mac. I hope you can stand the suspense!
