Original No1 Cormorant New HD Video 2020

This was given to me many many moons ago in a place called Rutland by an ACA masterline member Graeme Pearson a well known Angler.
He told me that the first time he saw someone fishing them at Grafham they were smashing fish after fish after fish, he was given three versions and this is what I call No1.... Fished as a pulling or fig o 8 cast on a intermediate or Sink Tip line they can be deadly, this is the Top Dropper one, but it coudl go anywhere on the cast..
Hook: - Kamasan B175 Size 14-10 or Babrless Equivalent
Thread: - Sheer 14/0 Black
Tail/Body: - Veniards Pearl Lurex Fine for Tail Medium or Fine for Body
Wing: - Sunburst Collection Black Velvet Marabou Tips
The Wing has to be spiky and that means using the tips of the feathers that most people dont use, not you have something to use them with.
Take Care and Wait on the No2 and No3 in the future, Tight Lines and Sharing is Caring

Just found your channel. Great tips, have now subscribed. Thanks for this.

[@TheDavedownie]

Thanks very much for the Sub, I hope you enjoy the down to earth flies and styles of tying :) tight Lines Dave

[@michaelterry1147]

Been studying history and form of fly and like this form you tied. Marabou seems logical for movement

[@Pete.108]

Hi Davie forgot how many times i have watched this video, but i must say just like your other flies this one has caught me many trout and lost count of how many i have tied for other anglers. Thanks for sharing and all the best and tight lines Peter.

[@rjboyes1983]

Might have emptied my fly tying bin after watching this. 😂 The amount of extra movement using the tip of the feather is exceptional. 10/10 top tip. 👍

[@TheDavedownie]

Yup as the way they were intended and not wasting any feather at all :)

[@speyladdie1]

[@noggin08]

Liking all your videos, great tying and I really like the way you let us know where, when and how you caught your fish. It gives us 65 year olds who have retired and got back into fly fishing a wee bit of confidence. Thanks David.

[@TheDavedownie]

Your never too old to get back out there , keep it up :)

[@Pappafisherman]

[@essoxtica]

Hi David great videos, are you going to do the video for cormorant 2 and 3 ? If not what we’re the Matterials again and which supplier ? Do they both have tails. Thanks Simon

[@TheDavedownie]

will do them soon :)

[@adamsaarinen3134]

What about rabbit zonker fur?

[@iantrotman3832]

David, what type of vice do you use......

[@TheDavedownie]

Dyna King Im afraid always , I really am not intrested in vices with all the bells and whistle. I like the hook to be held properly and the hook to be the highest thing. Vices that go down and then back up I dont like, plenty of clearance if that all makes sense :) I have a Dyna King Squire x 2 and I have the bigger brother one now the supreme

[@iantrotman3832]

@@TheDavedownie thanks for your reply...

[@genehughes5036]

Why use the tips Dave I always imagined there would be less movement in the tips

[@TheDavedownie]

they are supposed to be spiky one tip gives the spikyness but still allows movement if that makes sense they slim down when pulled then spread out in the pause.

[@genehughes5036]

Ah I see- I never used the tips before but will do now

[@TheDavedownie]
