Not a Buzzer nor a Dabbler?

Will it work, I'm convinced it will!

Steve you know them stockies will take anything, cmon now,

wakey wakey

[peepingcaddis]

It's actually for brownies!
You say stockies will take anything? You're correct, I've seen one with a chicken leg in it's mouth!

[hobble]

Yep heard the rumour mate,
wasnt that during the "bird flu"

[peepingcaddis]

No serious I have, about 15 years ago at Raygil fisheries, Nuts!

Think this would work over there? That's what it was tied for.

Hi Steve,

Nice concept, its surely got to work as an emerging midge. Maybe a single stand of mirage or crystal flash would help in the wing.

it kind of reminds me of Carl's Irish cormorants -

Not sure how he got on with them.

Cheers

Well its a pretty looking buzzer with a dabbler type wing,
im sure it will catch for you mate,
irish trout tend to go for the beefier flies,

i know id have more confidence in a heavily dressed dabbler steve with a longish tail and cloak!!


Just my preferance mate?



Did you settle on a name for the green fly you tied for ireland!!

[peepingcaddis]

Cheers for that gents, Irish boys do like them beefy, I know that much. I just fancied something slim, something that will work on the brownies here to.

A name for the green fly: Dave!

This is perhaps a concept that can be taken and improved and developed, let's try it?!

Hobb, Just went out and bought a D50 and some nice new lenses, Need my own stuff mate.... what you using?

Thin that wing and throat down a bit and it'll definitely work. N more than 10 fibres, 6 would be better.
