Brilliant fly

[@stefg9161]

Thanks for showing a close up tying in the beard, I always struggle to finish it tidily.

[@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769]

Takes a little practice. Easier to rotate the vice if you can . Trick is not to over do the beard or the thread wraps that will give you a little room to manoeuvre

Great video Tim I’v one question is there a way to rehydrate my bottle of Sally Hanson it’s gone very sticky

[@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769]

No mate . They only last about 2 thirds of the bottle . Get a new one . Keep the old one it will be fine for finishing heads . Dont use thinners or anything as it will turn the varnish milky .

Thanks mate let’s hope we can ,get together at Chigboro .

@@garystedman324 kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6LGg5ebnqqWhas kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3OVfHiVZ7aBf9k Diawls are super versatile flies . They imitate so many different things . Fished as a dropper fly on any line form a floater to a DI7 ! I love fishing a team of these on a floating line , they wont sink as quick as conventional buzzer patterns. You can fish them static or twiddle them fast . Brilliant all round fish catcher and rarely of my cast !
