Special Tying Instructions: |
Easiest fly in the world to tie? Just slide on the beads in order. Run the thread on and build up to stop beads sliding off – then cast of thread with hand whip finish. |
Fishing Instructions: |
Works anywhere – particularly good on clear water small stillwaters e.g. Meon Springs or Chalk Springs etc. Fish it dead drift or an unbelievably slow retrieve. |
Interesting Facts: |
A very robust fly – surprisingly takes are usually very gentle and hooking is usually in the top lip so don’t play them to hard. |
