Talking Happy find

Bob G recently posted a link to a previous incarnation of the forum, http://www.flyforums.co.uk/viewpoint...2-forum-5.html (post 42)

Whilst having a look round I found a post I had made in 2002ish about a Bibio Sedgehog. I had forgotten all about it, but tied up a version of it on Friday and caught 2 seatrout, (best 1.5lb) and 3 browns on it from the local sea pool yesterday afternoon.
In the original post I identified the hog wing as Roe, but with a wee bit more experience it was squirrel.

Tie it as a standard sedgehog with black squirrel tail and black and red squirrel wing (Bibio style). I used seal dubbing, but will probably use something a bit finer next time. Finish with a black cock hackle.

Give it a try

Billy

Well I've had a look twice and can't see anything related to a bibo sedgehog

Perhaps you are right, unfortunately I will never know.

If you have time on your hands, here's a link back to July 2003 onwards:
Fly Fishing Forums - Home
A very different place back then.

Bob
And the link on post 42 just sends you to 'flyforums.proboards.com/index.cgi' main page, whatever that is? Still nothing pointing or showing anything to do with a bibio sedgehog.

So, maybe that's why no-one has replied?
