Having watched your videos on fishing and tying this fly. I decided to tie some as I thought my local club water would respond to this fly. All I can say is thank you for this pattern as I out fished everyone today! Fished with 15 fish on this pattern. Keep up producing the videos. Drew

You're my hero. Away for weekend, wife went shopping and I got two hours to fish, howling gale. Top hat on point, 18 Nothing on dropper. Got six, best 5lb on the nothing fly. Surprised that so small a hook could stay firm.

Brilliant Robert, the Nothing fly are tied on a carp hooks which are very strong and don't bend, dry fly hooks are no good if big fish are in the lake 👍🎣🐟

Hi Alec - another phenomenal video mate - many thanks - you definitely walk the talk! Have tied a few of these up but not used to fishing such fine diameter fluro and find am getting broken at the dropper a few times..... I normally use a 3 turn water knot with 9lb fluro which is rock solid but what knots are you using for your dropper fly so the light fluro holds up.......?? Cheers for any pointers and thanks again for the content - is really really good and appreciated 👍👍
@alecharveyfishingandflytying Жыл бұрын
Cheers Al, I use a 2 turn water knot and put the dropper part through the loop before pulling the loop tight , droppers on light leader can be a problem and sometimes it's more reliable to use a single dry fly 👍🎣🐟

I do hope your fun day was a great success 🤞.As I said in my last message opportunities to fly fish in West Yorkshire are limited as a result I’ve lost a little of my enthusiasm for the sport, can I ask you about the length of leader and type you use to fish the nothing fly.

Going to give rhese a go for sure. What diameter tippet do you use? Fishing #20's and smaller on rivers i'd be using 7x, but stillwaters with chance of much bigger fish...?
@alecharveyfishingandflytying2 жыл бұрын
Thin diameter is required, some fisheries have a 6lb limit on tippet, some don't, soft plus is a good choice, thin and strong 👍🎣🐟
