The
Fly!
This
very simple fly was our top dry fly for 2002 and 2003!
Quite an achievement. And the more it gets chewed
by the fish, the better it gets!
It
is very simple to tie.
Hook:
Dry fly size 8-16
Thread: Black 6/0
Dubbing: Black Seal's Fur
Effect
required
The
fly should have lots of straggly legs and indistinct
in shape. This fly does not require floatant as the
seal's fur catches tiny bubbles of air in it providing
floatation. This also adds to the catching power!
Tying
method
1)
Place the hook on the vise and start the tying thread
at the eye. Wind back to the bend and then back to
the eye.
2)
Take a pinch of black seals fur and dub it onto the
tying thread
3) Wind 3-5 turns of dubbing on to the hook and tie
off.
Finished!
This
fly can also be tied in other colours including Olive
green and white.
Here
is one made with sheep's wool.
