diawl bachs

[bobblaikie]

i posted a picture a few days back of one of my first attempts at tying a diawl bach. the general thinking was that the body was a bit bushy so i had another go, this time only using one peacock herl.





im quite pleased with these.

thanks in advance for looking and for any further advice.

cheers,

bob

Hi Bob, nowt much wrong wi them . tail is a little long on the first one. The second one looks bang on for proportions. I like the beard length the same length as the body . Good job, keep at it. You better tie a few of these as the trout,s teeth can shred the holo rib.ell done

Better hook choice on the second one, also, try some db's without the beard Bob -

That would be a 'nymph' then

I'd be happy to categorise it as a db without the beard
