[@johnlindsay3202]

a must have in the fly box thanks again

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Agreed!

[@bobbell5265]

Methinks this is a favourite of yours Lindsay. Nice tying. 👍

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Only when targeting the big Browns pal.

[@TightLinesNW]

Thanks for sharing! I'm definitely going to tie up a handful and give them a shot!

[@lindsayiflyfish]

You won’t regret it 👍

[@burtonbrocious171]

Looks like a deadly fly lindsay tks

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Very popular fly and very rarely lets you down.

[@raymondmichaellarkin6455]

Just watching this again Lyndsay, great skills mate. I am going to make some of these in different colours.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

I like them in black 👍

[@carlnewtonfishing6045]

Good looking fly. I think bead eye flies work well. Thanks for sharing.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Yes they do, lots of movement 👍

[@nickchatterton4459]

Excellent

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Thank you so much 😀

[@TheFlyFishFanatic]

As always, great tie !!

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Thanks Rick 👍

[@michaelshaw8370]

As ever a couple of points. The chain bead adds both wobble and more vertical movement. They have insufficient mass to invert the hook so it swims point up. If this is a requirement metal dumbbell eyes will do that. Add either painted eye or stick on with a protective couple of layers of resin or varnish. I have had good results early season and winter. On heavy mid weight hook standard or buzzer with eyes from heavy fluorescent nylon blobbed holding a short length of line in pointed tweezers heat close to but not into a flame. Melt not burn it. In 12/14 they could still be used comp rules within size and due to zero extra weight added

[@lindsayiflyfish]

It is a great technique I use it on shrimp patterns.

Certainly has some size in the tail, big fish, big fly. Thanks Lindsay

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Very welcome Peter.

Lovely tie Lindsay and awesome looking lure to say the least Pal, was hoping you could send me a link to buy the gold toilet chain pull, as cant find it on the web. Tight lines and all the best Peter.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Hi Peter, I did not get them online. You can pick them up from B&Q I suspect Robert Dyas might carry them too.

[@Pete.108]

@@lindsayiflyfish Thanks Lindsay, also your traffic light cormorant is a total trout slayer to say the least pal, been using it now for the last 2 months with a couple of other flies, and hands down its a killer pattern. Thanks for sharing, all the best and tight lines Peter.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

@@Pete.108 Glad you are getting a few on it buddy.

[@Pete.108]

@@lindsayiflyfish Its thanks to you Pal for sharing your killer patterns Cheers Peter.

[@robertalexander7286]

Lindsay, try them with grizzle died yellow, works great, think it might look a little like a small perch..

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Will give it a go Robert.

[@Madmicksoutdooractivities]

Top job mate

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Cheers Mick 👍

[@andrevanaardt4846]

Hi Lindsay, you tied the bead eyes on top so the fly will swim point up. Do you ever tie the eyes under the eye of the hook? Any difference in hook up ratio

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Yes, sometimes I tie them underneath. It does not seem to make much odds to be honest.
