Tried one of these yesterday - size 20. Caught a 14" grayling on the first cast- never done that before so thank you Lindsay!

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Hi Andrew, glad to hear you gave it a go it’s a deadly fly.

[@Loyalist-ul6qm]

I have caught my pb on this fly cheers lyndsay all the best mate tightlines.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Outstanding.

[@johndingwall1210]

Good pattern, used it for a good number of years . Sometimes gets called "the Grayling Slayer"

[@lindsayiflyfish]

There are a few flies get called that John ;-)

[@johndingwall1210]

@@lindsayiflyfish yes a few patterns get called that rightly or wrongly lol . I blend hare's ear , grey squirrel and fox squirrel in a coffee grinder to make the scruffy dubbing. Sometimes add some pearl litebrite into as well , which can be good at times . My take on it , everyone has their own trusted and tried version.

Nice pattern, as always you make it so easy to tye. Lindsay could you make a video of a fly pattern for barbel?

[@lindsayiflyfish]

I have caught a barbel once in France but I am not sure the pattern was meant for Barbel. I will ask a friend and see if I can come up with something.

Great vid. Great fly.

Thanks buddy 👍

The only neat nymphs for grayling are ptn stoneflies and iron dun. Everything else simple/scruffy equals life and food. Even had grayling on small hopper/daddies. You know the water is healthy if it holds a good head of grayling. As for not looking down the uv or laser resin curing torch that is the same as don’t eat yellow snow or lick a lorry tyre while vehicle is still moving. The uv is not that much of a risk compared to the laser that is an actual danger

[@lindsayiflyfish]

I never knew you fished the rivers as well Mick.

[@michaelshaw8370]

@@lindsayiflyfish used to fish the northern rivers several times a week. The Derwent near Rowlands Gill the Till on the Wooler beats mainly targeting wild brownies and grayling. At last light totally fluked a fresh run sea trout on an eight ounce tippet over four pound released safely after over half an hour’s of up and down the bank including one flat on my arse and a full face plant in a deeper pool luckily I had a spare pair of glasses in my Dad’s caravan there. It took two days to find them about fifty yards downstream from the spot I lost them. The bailiff was in pain watching me fly rod using a fridge magnet to try and locate my specs. Boy did I take some stick over that one. On that second day my catch return was a dozen assorted rusty nails three screws three bolts assorted beer bottle caps and jar lids a short length of chain complete with sink plug. One pair of expensive spectacles.

@@michaelshaw8370 Thats a great story pal thanks for sharing.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Nice one!

[@kylerees6185]

Really enjoyed your podcast on fly culture by the way ,keep up your good work I love your channel all the best to you

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Thanks Kyle that’s very kind of you to say.

[@ibelieve1468]

Andrews should market your special blend as Lindsay Simpsons special blend #1 etc. This time next year, he'll be a millionaire 🙊🙊🙉🙉

[@lindsayiflyfish]

He does do a "Lindsay's Killer Shrimp" he tells me it goes very well.

[@gregb8824]

Its too bad you're not shining the light into the camera anymore. I would pause the video and use my phone to cure my resin. No more...sad.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

.... and I thought I was cheap......lol.

[@gregb8824]

@@lindsayiflyfish it's no problem, I have found pictures of the sun that are working just as well. Just make sure it's not of the sunset as the uv rays are not as intense as the full sunlight of midday;)

[@davidboshell9415]

LCD screens do not emit uv radiation, so cheap varnish curing is out as is cheap tanning. Sorry.

[@gregb8824]

@@davidboshell9415 yep, that's the direction I was going.
