Rutland Sparkler New HD Video 2020

This fly is my go to point fly when fishing Rutland and Grafham water. On the point on a fast sinking line I like to let it sink on a slow fig of 8 retrieve to drop though the depths until I contact the fish and then it lets me know at what potential deptht he fish are holding.
It never really lets me down its a great fish finding pattern
Hook: - Kamasan B175 Size 14-8 or Barbless Equivalent
Thread: - Sheer 14/0 Black
Tail: - Definite Advantage Silver/Gold Razor Flash
Body: - 6mm Black Micro Chenille
Wing: - Definite Advantage Silver/Gold Razor Flash
Its a great fly can also be tied using Olive Chenille
Tight lines and Sharing is Caring

I love the simple patterns because I’m not that good at tying yet and also I agree they work on the fish just right. Thanks for another one dude.

[@TheDavedownie]

No bother El practice makes better as you never get perfect lol

[@65Visser]

I am going to ty some of those and try them on my reservoir. Thanks Dave

[@ivancotterill6059]

hi Dave had my materials delivered and I am very impressed with the quality and also the personal touch with the personal signed order form. Thank you for the free gift I have already tied a couple of flies using them. I have never ordered from you before (only found your videos a month or so ago) but I will certainly order from you again in the future. I now look forward to tying a few Sparklers and hopefully Rutland will still be open when we plan to visit. Keep well my friend

[@TheDavedownie]

Thanks for the order and hope you like using the materials :)

[@davidmcleish758]

Many thanks for sharing your expertise and knowledge. So captivated by your stories have to rewind the video to watch again :). Terrific pattern and insight to the fishing method. Fantastic Channel.

[@TheDavedownie]

Thanks David this is why I do it I have many stories to tell, I should write a book lol

[@markrobinson3841]

Great fly Dave and another great video. Keep them coming !!

[@TheDavedownie]

I Will thanks for watching

Cool pattern. Pretty slick how you tied in the flash. Before you folded back the wing it reminded me of a steelhead pattern here in the states called the Salmon R. Flea, white poly tied along top for a short forward wing & tail then fl red, orange or chartreuse yarn wrapped for the body. Just 2 materials, like Fran Betters' Usual - which has one material. Amazing how productive simple flies are. Thanks for the stories and fishing tips. Best of health to you David!

[@TheDavedownie]

Thanks Matey

[@mitchbain3338]

Great looking and easy fly to tie!!

[@ivancotterill6059]

Hi Davie love your simple patterns and stories of how to use them. I have ordered the materials and look forward to tying some and using them at Rutland in May. Keep up the great videos

[@TheDavedownie]

Ive got lots of stories over the many many years, thanks for watching

[@ivancotterill6059]

@@TheDavedownie Thanks Davie, when you say you use a double on the point on a fast sinking line do you fish this with other flies and if so what patterns or do you fish on its own on a short leader

[@TheDavedownie]

@@ivancotterill6059 Normally something like a claret hopper and a cruncher type pattern, it will surprise you that dry flies work on fast sinking lines also :) give it a try

[@gavin194465]

I definitely tying this in the states. I've never ordered anything in Euros before. Easy process?

[@lizkayoutandabout]

Love your flies but it took over three minutes of this video before you started tying lol. You will need to practice talking and tying at the same time.
