Re: Irish Cormorant Fry
Lovely fly! I imagine this would be a deadly loch (stillwater) pattern. Have you fished with this pattern before?

Re: Irish Cormorant Fry
Fished it? No not as of yet, I only just stumbled onto the pattern yesterday and I have only been to Ireland in the Winter when only the brave or the fool hearty head to the water!
I have to work a lot on my photography and tying neater flies to present here, but these are fishing flies not display items and I do not have a lot of soft hackle tying time under my belt as of yet.
Looks better from a distance with some friends.

Fish when you can, not when you should! Anything short of this is just a disaster.
