How to tie - Slovenian Dry Fly

[@davidfraser4083]

Thanks Lindsay, looks the part. I'll tie some during the winter nights for next season. Cheers, stay well, Big Davie

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Good man 👍

[@skookumjack]

Always fantastic to watch you tie Lindsay! The'Bob Ross' of fly fishin' ! May ask if you ever tie Tenkara flies ,Sakasa Kebari a reverse-hackle fly as I understand it ? ..... I hope mentioning Tenkara doesn't get me blocked from your channel ! Ha ! I'd be interested in your thoughts... .

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Never tried it although I can appreciate that it is an effective way of catching fish. As for the fly tying I have seen the flies they look cool.

[@michaelshaw8370]

This looks to be a good choice for stillwaters using a 230 down to a #14 whenever dark caddis/ heather/ hawthorn or non specific dark terrestrial are on the water. Possibly a part of a washing line, nymph, emerger, buzzer set up

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Good call Mick.

[@richardduvall6512]

I'll have to give this one a try very nice tie as always thanks for sharing

[@lindsayiflyfish]

You are welcome 🙏

[@johnlindsay3202]

nice little fly need to tie a few for next season Lindsay cheers

[@lindsayiflyfish]

You won’t regret it.

[@newflyrod1]

Looks like a winner Will have to tie up ! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Got a box half full now 😉

[@newflyrod1]

@@lindsayiflyfishIf you are willing to devote time and box space, must be a winner, LOL. A great silhouette wondering if there are any other colors or sizes.

[@anablakp3200]

Awesome tie Lindsay. Looks so much like Fratnik's Black Sedge by Marjan Fratnik of Milan, formerly of Most Na Soci in Slovenia, which utilizes the cul-de-canard for the wing. Thanks for sharing, will tie some up here in eastern Canada.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Cool, let me know how it goes.

[@Check-Your-Fly]

Fantastic ! Looks similar to a elk or deer hair caddis or moth pattern . Also reminiscent of a bibio minus the red. It'll be in my box for 2023! Cheers!

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Worth adding without a doubt.

[@Madmicksoutdooractivities]

That looks spot on. I bet they hammer fish them they taken the small black corn flies. Need some black deer hair I think Great pattern and well instructed 🎣🎣🎣

Looks deadly Lindsay 👌

Very effective Robbie.

[@robgreen6697]

Hi. Where would you recommend staying in Slovenia? I usually fish in Austria yet want something different next summer plus I’d like to try for Marble Trout.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

In the past I have stayed in Bled and mostly fished the Sava. If you want to target Marble trout then staying in the Soca valley is your best bet. I am currently looking into accommodation for a trip early June.

[@robgreen6697]

@@lindsayiflyfish thanks for the info. I’ll continue to loom and see what I find. Bled is a lovely place for sure.

[@scot1425]

Great looking fly. Will need to get some black deer hair. Meanwhile might try using some fine black bucktail I have somewhere!

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Might be hard to tie with bucktail, let me know how you get on.

[@lentrim5444]

@@lindsayiflyfish Fortunately some of the bucktail is quite fine so I have already tied up two on size tens. I’ll wait on some deer hair before going smaller. With some legs the fly should work in May as a Hawthorn?

[@lindsayiflyfish]

@@lentrim5444 I think it would be great around Hawthorn time.

[@jameslittle66]

I still have not conquered the deer hair tying..but in truth I need to practice more...🙂

[@lindsayiflyfish]

It can be quite daunting but the more you do the better you get.👍

[@tomasza.776]

When you used this fly. Spring summer autumn? Is this a stone fly pattern? Did you fish this fly on Idrijca?

[@lindsayiflyfish]

Late August early Sept on the main Soca.

[@tomasza.776]

Thanks

[@derekstewart1706]

what superglue do you use? can you post a link?

[@lindsayiflyfish]

They all go in the end but this one lasts a bit longer www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175429870151?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=E1dACyktSSi&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[@andysfishingandflytyingcha2310]

That's a great looking fly. Just "looks" like a fish taker.

[@lindsayiflyfish]

You are right!

[@joemcmillan7278]

Could u add legs to this ?

[@lindsayiflyfish]

If you like.

[@jeffnotti9932]

i always get somthing out of it, even when i don't comment. There is a strange attraction to this black beauty. i like flies like that. < J

[@lindsayiflyfish]

It’s a very understated pattern but works very well.

[@wildman2894]

The Demon is a good name

Like that 😉
