Irresistibles

[Brook]

Hi all,
I was thinking of tying some Irresistibles for use in fast shallow water.
I am Wanting something really bouyant.Has anybody got any experiences or alternatives.If anyone knows the proper tying for this fly that would be great.
Thanks in anticipation Brook.

Are you looking for alternative tying materials for the Irresistible, or other patterns ?

[Brook]

Hi arkle,
Im just looking for a pattern to use in fast water,cant think of anything other than the Irresistible,or something tied using foam maybe.This summer ive seen quite a few big fish in fast water maybe 8 inch deep,Im thinking a normal dry will will be sunk in no time.
Cheers Brook.

I used to use irresistables but then found the Humpy ,seems to be more buggy IMO.recent years have mainly seen me on quieter waters where more ethereal dressing work better >

Have you tried a Griffith's Gnat with a c.d.c. wing yet ? You can vary the colour(s) to suit your needs/hatches. You can also do it with a loop wing.

The scope for tying patterns to suit this style of fishing are virtually endless.
