[@Sveaisland]

Very nice fly . Thanks Rhys

[@oldgold5848]

Good method for attaching the eyes Rhys, stops them spinning. Quality.

Another one to add to the armoury Rhys, thanks for sharing 👍

Hi Rhys, Great video as usual can you confirm what diameter foam are you using and what length are you cutting it to?

[@harryhudson5149]

Rhys what colour marabou is closest to the yellow one you use.can’t find any sunburst yellow peach colour. Thanks

[@RhysFishes]

A washed out yellow would work harry, think along the lines of lemon

[@chrisfraser6777]

Nice Fly can you help me what kind of marabou do you use and were do you buy it from.Cheers

[@RhysFishes]

Hey Chris, thanks for watching! The marabou pictured is old and from Celtic Fly Craft. David Downie or Veniard are worthy alternatives. Look for sunburst beach/Coral colours!

[@chrisfraser6777]

Ok thank you very much for your help

[@mikejenkins3726]

Why do you put it in the oven? And at what temp? Diolch.

[@RhysFishes]

Hey Mike. It will round the eyes better, so purely aesthetic and make the outer part of the form stronger, although it will shrink the foam slightly. 180 fan, for a minute or so. Place them on foil.

[@allanstewart6894]

They can be deadly but the problem with them up in Scotland is theres not many places let you fish them especially on a sinking line

[@RhysFishes]

Makes sense allan. Then the fab should take its place 👍
