Hi Rhys, I shall be tying some of these flies for future days at Ellerdine. Can you tell me briefly how you made the white plastic 3 rod holder you use to keep your rods separate when carrying them, what size tubing, and what foam inside the top of the tube. I could make one which would help me keep my rods separate. Thanks mate in anticipation. Tight lines

[@RhysFishes]

Hey Sam. I didn’t make this. It was made by an excellent man named bill bonas from up north. You can find him on Facebook should you wish to ask some questions

[@sammellor605]

@@RhysFishes thanks Rhys. I managed to make one myself which isn’t as well finished as yours, but I used it at Ellerdine last week and it worked perfectly. Love your videos, and have learned a lot ,just need to put it into practice on future trips to Ellerdine. When are you making more videos, I look forward to them . Tight lines mate

AWESOME DOOD

[@wvlongshooter3912]

First ones I’m tying will have purple thorax. The trout are really digging purple on the ponds. Excited to try. Thanks!!

[@RhysFishes]

Purple thorax, interesting!

[@josephbrownisky9473]

You’re right Rhys it was invented in Scotland. I picked it up from Craufurdland fishery and it was deadly though I’m not sure whether it was the fly so much as how it was fished under the bung 🎣

[@robertalp3878]

It’s an Okey dokey buzzer! I’ve made a few with both orange and green thoraxes. I also include a thin silver wire rib. On its day it’s a killer!

[@RhysFishes]

Nice 🙂

[@williamthomson2548]

question ryse... why was this fly banned?? amazing display once again sir 👏

[@RhysFishes]

It’s a fly born out of Scotland I’m told. From what I’ve read, and I’d be happy if someone with more knowledge on the background of the fly shared it, it was banned because of its close resemblance to a maggot or docken grub. Either way, the Inventor came up with a simple but effective fly pattern that should be admired in my eyes 🙂

@@RhysFishes ah ok that's amazing to know I shall tie a few and try them next time I am out on a water Non competitive 🤭😁

That’s more of fly than some of the controversial stuff we use nowadays.
