[@ethanrush4562]

Great vid again 👍will be tying that

[@jamesgreig1301]

Good one 👍

[@mikehatswell3961]

another cracking pattern Andy, I defiantly agree with the philosophy of keep it simple, that way you don't worry about loosing a fly or two just have to think about where the fish are and how close i can get a fly to them, thanks for showing us what works for you, i have tied and tried the baby pink and have to say THANKS, works a treat. all the best

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Very kind Mike, thank you! That baby pink really is something else, it just catches everywhere!

[@jamiehubbard8823]

I think you should put more tying videos on and in traditional styles

[@martynfletcher2054]

Enjoying this series a lot Andy. Thanks for makingit. I've always avoided tying my own flies (usually just go to Ebayland). Defo going to give tying a go. Cheers

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Really glad you're enjoying them Martyn, nice simple flies! Remember if you're short of time I tie orders too 👍

[@carlwaine5263]

Looks a cracking fly, Andy. I use a Kieron Jenkins' pattern as my go-to orange/red tag - I think I saw it on the Fulling Mill site - but I think its construction means that you tend to have too much bulk/fluff sometimes when the river is clear or clearing after rain (and the 'standard', relatively bulky tag I think can be more of fish scarer, than attractor!). As you've said before, it probably slows the descent speed down, too, so I'll try some slimmer ones like yours. Great video.

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Kie's pattern is legendary, I do like the slimmer body though, I'm sure it sinks more quickly and it looks great with the cdc hackle 👍👍

[@rogertaylor712]

Great series Andy, I’ve recently started tying so this one will definitely be going in the box. Hopefully you’ll be doing a series on trout flies, maybe by the season? 👍

[@IBandAndyFishing]

Thanks Roger! I'll be making more yes, definitely. I don't use lots of flies though so I might have to space them out a little!

[@mikerapeer4848]

Great video. Is there another material I could use instead of the nymph-it material because I ant find it in the us. Thank you

[@alexlewis8744]

Nice Andy

[@IBandAndyFishing]

thanks alex!

[@jameswalker879]

nice fly again andy. like the body try uv resin on body it will help it to sink faster. thanks. jim w,

[@IBandAndyFishing]

I tried UV on nymph it, it didn't really work because it's pretty rough stuff, it needs too many coats which end up thickening the body. I see where you're going though, a sort of perdigon with a hackle?

[@adriancooper8820]

loving the series could you tie or recommend a carp or chub fly as ive just taken up fly fishing and would love to catch one of these fish on a fly rod ( I live in somerset right next to the river parret)

[@IBandAndyFishing]

thanks Adrian, we'll certainly be doing that as the weather warms up in the summer
