Will this work ???

[sweenytodd]

Right I wanted to tie something along the lines of a mayfly emerging . I had to come up with something using what limited hooks and materials I have . Please bare in mind I have never tied this type of thing before and as for the hackle I don't even know the proper name for it I don't know how you tie it the right way and made it up as I went along so if anyone has an SBS please it would help .
Anyway I wanted something that looked like it still had the shuck , that is the idea with the tail .
I have had it in a glass of water and it does sit very nice and looks good to my eye but question is will it work ?? Will the fish like it ???
Any pointers , ideas, help , comments , shooting down in flames etc..... as I feel very out of my depth on this one !!



Cheers all

I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Prob not far away from what your looking Danny....do 6 of those ones and send them on to me... then do new ones closer to what you want

Thats spot on Danny, No problem catching with that, Keep them comin'

With you on the end of the line waving that fly about you are bound to catch.

Looks good to me, I have no doubts that the fish will love it!

Very nice Pimpy

Dont forget maybe a wee No 11 glo bright flos tag.










and maybe add a wee bit of pink Had to whisper that, I didn't want Seanie hearing.

Very nice Danny,been wondering where you've been? Too busy with those Sheelin beauty's

Here's an alternative for ye Danny..... for the 'shuck', why not try a few strands of the poly yarn that you've used for the post?
