A very neat and attractive fly. I have found the flexifloss can unwind if damaged by the trout's teeth. Do you ever use a thin coat of resin to combat this prior to winding the flexifloss on or after winding it on prior to the peacock herl?

Mike, I certainly do on the vast majority of this type of fly. The truth be known on this occasion I just forgot that stage.

Nice cruncher there Lyndsay. I feel quite confident in having a try at tying it 😬. Thanks for another one dude.

It’s fairly simple just keep those proportions in mind.

I know. It’s a very important set of rules we work to! And considering the size of what we’re working on it’s quite an uneasy game to play! lol. Thanks for response to the comment too. ☺️

One addition I add to most of my hawthorn patterns. Either or and, two turns of claret hen or soft cock hackle behind the main hackle, two again claret knotted pheasant tail legs each side of the head as for a pulling hopper. Also a cormorant in similar style with the added legs is a viable alternative.

That’s the beauty of tying your own.

Nice pattern thanks, I’m in need of some new hackle pliers could you pls recommend some ?
@lindsayiflyfish3 жыл бұрын
I like the C&F ones for smaller flies. For bigger hackles the Corterrelli ones are not bad.

Nice one Lindsay!! Have you tried using ostrich herl instead of peacock?, got a couple with crunchers at the weekend, finally got out fishing this year!!!.. Will be trying a couple of these!! Keep em coming mate. ATB Chris.
@lindsayiflyfish3 жыл бұрын
Not yet, I find the ostrich herl a bit to large for Crunchers. Glad to hear you are finally getting out to wet a line.
