Very effective fly. Great tutorial Lindsay.

Thanks Deb.

It's been a winner for me as a point fly on the washing line in stillwaters!

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Always works, everywhere I have been, thanks for commenting Nicole.

@@lindsayiflyfish My Pleasure, Lindsay! Hopefully one day I'll be able to fish it on your side of the big pond! :-)

Nicely done Lindsay

Thanks Peter.

Enjoyed the video Lindsay! Seems that "spit" is an essential part of the fly 😉

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Yes slows the decent right down.

Thanks Lindsay, stay safe, Big Davie

Thanks big lad 👍

It's great fly, I like to tie in a splitring for the purpose of washing line, under need the antron tail. So you could fix the tippet on the ring in stead of on the hook.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

That is a good shout my friend 👍

[@davidwillacy4796]

Really enjoyed. Daft question, why use black nano silk and not orange or yellow. Cheers

[@lindsayiflyfish]

To be honest it was what came to hand when I was tying them up. I think it only makes a difference to tiers and anglers not sure the fish care 😉

[@johnfranklin177]

Looking forward to the washing line video 👍. Would you use that in autumn/winter thanks

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Absolutely! Worked a treat last weekend as you will see on Thursday ;-)

These mini and micro lures cannot be underestimated both for beginners to hook their first fish. So that they are less likely to become disenchanted and not stay with the hobby. Especially with the competition sizes and these smaller micro boobies blobs and fabs. They both keep the other flies in the feeding zone. Draw in the trout to either take the attractor or to notice and hit the nymph or midge that the fish would have probably not even noticed without the boobie blob doing it’s job

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Yep, works a treat ;-)

[@Esoxluciouss11]

great tying, do u not match the body colour and thread colour.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Very rarely bother Denis.

[@stripping.streamers]

Great tutorial on a great fly!

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Glad you enjoyed it, definitely worth having.
