Wow that's nuts, thanks for sharing Leigh!

[@troutwithleigh4503]

I have tried many new fly's over the years Martin that were supposed to be deadly but this one really takes the biscuit! or trout I should say lol

[@MrMartinzx13]

@@troutwithleigh4503 I tied some up and forgot about them. I happened to try them yesterday at my local water, brilliant action! Some of the takes were savage! Some were gentle, they did the business!! Missed a few takes, but they come back! Thanks gain... lol

[@johnshand6176]

That is unbelievable. I will give it a go but leave it off the framed fly presentation display in my fly tying room. Thanks from down-under in NZ.

[@brianr9529]

Excellent video, loved the history and the proof of the pudding.

[@troutwithleigh4503]

Thanks for watching, we looked at a number of video's on line and most are great and show how to tie a fly perfectly well but don't describe how to fish it so we picked up the ball and thought we would do a series with a bit more explanation and a bit of footage to show that it really does work!

I tie them wider and use a marker to make them mottled. The make a great leech. One of the few flies that I use to catch walleyes on the flyrod.

Nice work Leigh

[@troutwithleigh4503]

Thanks ,very effective for such an easy fly to tie!

Cracking fly mate when you back on the water

[@troutwithleigh4503]

God knows? soon I hope? this fly is quite something have not got a clue what they think it is? worm?

[@jonmilling703]

Amazing. Who’d have thought

[@troutwithleigh4503]

Try it, you will be surprised how effective it is!!

[@wilsoncaddis]

Thanks so much for this...I'm a convert now....

[@lastcoyote2355]

Much like the San juan worm …fish probably see it as a worm or small leach

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Not got any of those in my box, need to correct that, thanks for sharing Leigh.

[@troutwithleigh4503]

Get out of here Lindsay! lol have you really not tied this one yet?

Hi Leigh Thanks for sharing.Why is the bead in the middle as it narrows the gape ?

[@troutwithleigh4503]

Yes with you on that one! but this was the fly that Davey Neilson first devised, I have tied it lots of different way's which we will share soon!

[@judithkelly2556]

Been using these for over a year now . Cracking fly on its day . They love them at Kilnsey

[@troutwithleigh4503]

So right! but do you find you miss quite a few Judith? I find I get about 1 in 2/3 takes?

[@judithkelly2556]

@@troutwithleigh4503 sometimes yes. A man next to me was fishing them before I had heard of them and he had 30 fish in 2 hours . I got home and tied some!

Looks good how do you fish it

[@marksleeper9385]

nice

[@michaelmackie9434]

Nice one, have you tried it in smaller sizes??

[@troutwithleigh4503]

Not experimented too much yet? have tied it like a booby and foam in the middle to suspend it off the bottom, sunk them in a fish bowl and they look great! lol got to work in the on a winters day! was thinking of some small one's for the comp circuit ?

[@712mook]

great video, i think i could even tie this fly....when is the best time to use this fly?

[@troutwithleigh4503]

Yes one of the easiest to tie and probably one of the most effective I have used for a long time!! used it on a fun day at Avington on Monday in the catch and release lake and quite literally had a take every cast! amazing some days, but like any remarkable fly not always the case! No real best time of the year really caught fish on it all year round, give it a go on your local water, best colour for me is a bright yellow to be honest followed by orange, black I believe is also good but not tried it yet?

[@712mook]

@@troutwithleigh4503 thanks for that, going Grafham next wek so may tie a few up with my limited fly tying skills lol....

[@troutwithleigh4503]

Think they will still be hard on the buzzers at Grafham, had my mate Nick Dunn out there with some client's yesterday had a good day on the washing line fab on the point and 3 buzzers not deep! give it a go as the guy at Avington said the trout there were on buzzers but loved the shammy!!lol

[@712mook]

@@troutwithleigh4503 thanks i will give it a go....had a day with Nick on Rutland a couple of weks ago fishing the washing line, had a grat day and he is a really nice guy....

[@troutwithleigh4503]

@@712mook Yep one of my team mates in the Reservoir Dogs top bloke and top angler, we share a few clients when we have more than one out as you can't have 3 in a boat at the moment! can't see that changing for a while! good luck with the shammy!

[@mikeshaw714]

You never forget how to tie with Chamois... it's like riding a bike.

[@troutwithleigh4503]

I was amazed when I first used it! was told of it but can't find anywhere when it does not work! miss a lot of takes though!

[@flyrod1000]

San Juan Worm tied with Chaomis. Blood red maroon a better color.

[@troutwithleigh4503]

Thought there would be something similar out there??! Tried red ones and caught fish but yellow and orange seem to be hot colours over here? have you experimented any other colour's yourself ?

[@lastcoyote2355]

Little know fact …. Had we lost to the British during the revolutionary war …. We’d all be speaking English today . 😂😂😂

[@n0rt0n64]

I guess they would look like drowned earthworms also. Will give it a go.

[@troutwithleigh4503]

When the fly comes out the water wet with the orange or red pattern it does look a bit wormy, especially in the water

[@avamaria07]

Those Sham-Wow fish are plenty dumb
