THE TERMINATOR.... Here it is

[oakham orange]

Ok here it is. Im going to get a bit of stick for posting this but, I think its only fair that all international teams have this fly for Sheelin, so they are all on a level playing field. I dont want the English saying "we only won the spoon because we didn't have the Terminator". I just couldn't live with myself.

Hopefully the other 3 teams will think this is a wind up and not tye it up for Sheelin, but by making it public my conscience will be clear

Hook. Kamasan B800
Thread: Haemoglobin Uni Bomber thread. 5/0
Tail 1 : Knotted pheasant tail dyed haemoglobin red
Tail 2 : GP Tippets Dyed just red
Tail 3 : Bronze Mallard
Tail 4 : Cock hackle fibres dyed haemoglobin red
Rib: 15lb Fluoroflex plus flo' carbon
Body: Orange fritz from 1987
Wing 1: Golden Pheasant Rump
Wing 2: Bronze Mallard
Throat Hackle: Blue Jay
Cheeks: Jungle cock

I honestly think what makes this fly so deadly is the choice of tails that the trout have to attack when they are chasing it. The 1987 orange fritz obviously attracts the trout from distance (they wont have seen that shade for sometime), then, when they fall in behind the fly, they have to choose which one of the 4 tails to attack.
With so much haemoglobin dyed materials, the trout will also mistake this fly for a hatching insect, when it is dibbled, before recasting. The 15 lb Flouroflex plus simply stops the fly falling apart, after catching so many trout.

Something for everyone. Bound to appeal to the traditional DRY FLY EXPERTs as well - just add Gink.

Now that's not 1987 Orange fritz, Oakham! It's far too bright and fluorescent, it was more a yukky orange....maybe your'e trying to throw people by giving the dressing but giving a picture of 1990's fritz around the colour change time...Im on to you

I was just going to knock some up but dont have the hooks will it be okay to tie them on a 1/0 Aberdeen hooks as Im sure it wont affect presentation too much.

[oakham orange]

You boys might struggle to get all those materials onto a 1/0 aberdeen hook. . But your welcome to have a go.

Us Irishmen could get them onto a size 18 up eyed dry fly hook, and still have room for a pair of booby eyes.
