Default A few Duckfly
Been tying up a few (well a lot!) of Duckfly variants in preperation for an early season trip to Corrib and for Loopy's swap. I'm no expert at fishing Duckfly patterns in Ireland as I've never been over in March, although I have caught a few Bows in Grafham early season with them on the top dropper with a buzzer cast just slowly tweaked back.

All advice, ideas and opinions welcome. Here are a few of my favourites from the last couple of days, may add a few more tomorrow.

Some great ties Ben
I will let the expert duckfly fishermen give their opinion as I have only seen a couple of duck flies and my ones for the swap are a combination of the two.

Lovely ties there. Which one is coming our way - swap wise?

Not sure yet Loops, was going to judge it based on any feedback.

Must admit though I'm running extremely low on good quality Jungle Cock, so it'll probably be a pattern with biots. Going to do a bit more work today as just had a new delivery of hooks and wires

Possibly this one for the swap?
