Fly One - Cats Whisker

The Basic Cats Whisker, is a tried and trusted pattern that has served anglers well for many years. The reason I have picked this fly to start with is that it is relatively easy to tie. It only incorporates two materials and is a great place to start your fly-tying journey.

Hi from Italy Lindsay, thank you for your videos, very usefull for improving my fly tying capacity. The fly in this video is great, and I want to ask you: is it for fishing trout in the lakes?

[@lindsayiflyfish]
