Simple Para-dun

[dwiltshire]

Here's a pattern I tied for a demo evening I did for the Bristol FDG, using fibbets for tails:





Hook: TMC 101 #14
Thread: 14/0 Sheer, tan
Tail: Microfibbets
Dubbing: Wapsi Superfine (change colour to suit)
Rib: Waxed thread
Post: TMC Aerowing, tan
Hackle: Silver Badger
Thorax: Natural Opossum

Cheers,
Dave.

Just the way they should look Dave.
Good work, i particularly like the segmented body, i bet thats one of the flies many triggers.

Very nice Dave. Like that a lot.

love it. out of interest how long does it take for fibbets to get chewed up???

Super looking tye.

joinned - probably the fibbetts would be the most durable part of the fly as they are made of nylon & due to their taper they will spring away from virtually anything that touches them, & unlike any natural product they won't soften when wet.

As arkle says, they are durable and I have never had a problem with them being damaged by the fish. I splay them using a little loop of thread and theat keeps them positioned well too, even after a fish.
