My wife was throwing out a Santa with a “straggle” like beard this morning….then I saw your video….cut off the “straggle” for some flys like you made here! Interesting coincidence! Thanks!😂😂

[@davidmillar5723]

This is a great fly I have had great success with this fly over the last few weeks 7 fish one day and 6 the other day

[@MyPancho1]

This one looks like a great choice for white bass here in Texas, Thanks Davie

Great information and history. 🤙🙂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Ally mckoist and alex fergusons have already had me some big brown trout this year they work great early in the season when the tadpoles are about

[@6dollardave]

Really like this color combination. Great work! Thanks Davie.

Nice looking fly! I’ve been tying a similar fly for a few years with ostrich herl tail and Semperfli straggle string on body with a slotted bead head on the Hanak 450 bl , Great Lake fly ! Definitely going to ttie this one to try.

American sizes on the Beads. 5 thirty-seconds of an inch works out to 3.9 mm. A 3.8mm Tungsten would be an ideal replacement.

[@PJ-iv7ry]

Love the colour combo, the bead head should give good action. May help me get out of the 'blank' zone🙄

In NI we had a green, white and gold version we called The Jerry Adams 😂

[@66bigbuds]

What's NI? Northern Ireland? North indiana? North India? New Illinois?

[@callumclark3358]

⁠@@66bigbudsI think Jerry (Gerry) Adams is a good hint.

The story goes Jock Esplin was fishing with this as yet un-named fly he had created with some amount of success when 2 young anglers wearing Celtic football tops approached and asked him what fly he was using. An Ally McCoist was his reply.

[@DavieMcPhail]

That's something I would do for a good laugh John, I could have guessed it was something like that as the colours are a bit far away from Rangers...ATB Davie

[@dorothyriegert8958]

Hello Davie, I cannot find the Fritz Material you are using for this fly pattern. Can you help?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi @dorothyriegert8958, Sorry about the delay in getting back to you, I did a search and I struggled as well to find the fritz I did ask a couple of friends if they knew but they haven't got back to me as this fritz when I bought it was easy to find at the time.. I'm glad you liked the fly.. All the very best Davie..

[@dorothyriegert8958]

@@DavieMcPhail Thanks for the reply, if you find a source, or an alternate, please let me know. Thanks again

[@mikeodriscoll9082]

How would you fish it ...

[@trevorluft1763]

What brand is the Fritz please?

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Trevor, It's Bill Mcilroy's Unboosted 3D Subtle 15mm Dark Olive fritz that I used, I just did a search online but I'm struggling to find some though if I do come across some I'll send you a link.. All the very best Davie

5/32" = 4mm size of the beads.

[@bäverhojt-w7x]

for long tail

[@keithfarrell957]

What size epoxy eyes would you recommend to fit a B175 heavy wet hook size 10 or 8 ?? Thank you kindly

[@BB1872]

3mm or 4mm at a push I'd try on a size 8 mate.

[@keithfarrell957]

@BB1872 thank you , il go with 3mm so .

[@DavieMcPhail]

Hi Keith, I mainly use 3mm though having one or two with a slightly bigger eye will not go wrong as it is a good trigger point for the fish in my view... All the very best Davie
