[@davidwillacy4796]

Great video Tim and I’ve tied up some of these beauties tonight. One question though, who the heck is Fred?

[@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769]

Bloke I know from Saaaffend ! ;)

[@davidwillacy4796]

Brill. I’ll bet he’s got a sister called roof and a brother called feeo and togever they are known as the Sarfend free. Love the videos and also the response. Keep them coming Bud.😊

[@simonpeters3499]

Great video as usual Tim, How would you fish this? As a point fly on a washing line? Floating line or intermediate pulled or static?

[@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769]

All of the above . Its a hugely versatile pattern . I like tow fish two of these point and top dropper with a couple of small nymphs in between on a floater or slow tip with a steady figure eight retrieve .

[@simonpeters3499]

Thanks Tim, Had great success on this method yesterday on an intermediate set up at Wimbleball Reservoir. @@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769

[@paulhughes7079]

Do you sell these flies? Because they are anything but easy imo. I made a right hash of my first attempts.

[@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769]

I do yes . I am pretty snowed under at the moment but I do tie for orders .. Message me through face book ..
