FLYMPH FORUM

Ruard,
As always, your pattern choices and tying are perfect! How could the salmon and trout resist your flies?
Good luck and God's speed on your trip! Please, tell us all about it when you return!

Thank you Dog.

Kelly: ghost-fibers: long soft fibers, something like antron.


greeting

Ah, thank you very much. That makes sense!

This is a March brown foor Wales:



March brown

Hook: Kamasan B175 #12
Thread: Danville’s 6/0 orange
Rib: small goldtinsel
Body: dubbing in a splitted thread( dubbing: 33% hare natural, 33% rabbit brown, 33% seal brown)
Hackle:brown Partridge

Greeting

Oh yeah! That is as "buggy" as it gets; the dubbing mix is just wonderful, and the hackle from exactly the right spot on the bird to complete this pattern.

Superb!

Ruard, Howdy;

I was going to post this as my suggestion for your holiday for fishing for whales;

Glad I re-read the title the first time around.....

I can't believe that on a forum devoted to wingless flies a discussion about flies for Wales has gone on this long without at least someone mentioning the Coch-y-Bondhu.

Just sayin'.

Maybe because others, like myself, were taught to tie them with wings! Must admit I tie them most often without nowdays, trout don't seem to mind.... but then I do not fish Wales too often either.

Nice flies Ruard,

I do have some owl feathers (roadkill) in the barn. I'll send you some if you like.
