This is a wee pattern i tied using the green tag theme i put in a lot of my flies, nice and simple but effective.

Thread a size 12 grubber


Add medium oval gold wire


Tie in fluorescent wool


Add dubbing of your choice


Bring wire up in close turns to form body and give dubbing 2 or 3 rib turns trim tag/ whip finish and there you go


You can add different materials to thorax area, chenille ones also work. As you see easy to tie and good when nothing showing on the surface.









Nice and simple and works for me.

Geordie.

Tut tut bruce....i did mention chenille works too,you could add a bead if you wish.I have a pic of 4 showing dif colours and the chenille one

These remind me of the Sibbons or Cockwill stalking bugs of the 1980's. Very nice & straightforward.

Do you think they will work on the broonies

Could be right steve, i think we have loads of ideas in our heads we have gathered over the years, this one just came to mind when i was looking for something when im not catching on the surface these days.Using wire gets them down quickly and we could use copper,lead or whats available aswell. Nice and simple to tie and works well, just put SBS up to show that.

Not sure on that point, broonies tend to be harder to predict they will take nearly anything some days but not on regular basis.I would say if you replaced the tag for hackle fibers then broonies may hit them more.
