luderick -angler Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 hey breammad, they are rubber legs in olive tarantula add loads of movement, when you next off fly fishing let me know your addressvia PM and I will tie a couple up for you to give a go let me know what weight is best suited for the water you fish do you need to get down fast or slow ie: no bead, 2mm, 2,5mm, 3mm or 4mm tungsten bead are you fishing fast water or slow, gives mean idea of required weight.

Matt Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Great looking flies Luderick-angler, I like the look of the bead heads you have tied on the buzzer style hooks especially the ones with the red. Can see them being a hit when the midges are in there zillions at Eucumbene! Regards Windy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luderick -angler Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 Matt they are quite heavy either 3mm or $mm tungsten for a quick descent in the Tongariro and most Taupo rivers and the Rangitikei closer to home, I do tie them up unweighted with the red collar or can tie them wit ha 2mm beadhead on a #18 for what you describe and fished under a big humphy or wulff would be the job. Recipie is simple grub hook sizes 10 - 18 dub with either hares fur or Dave Whitlocks green crystal dub in a dubbing loop and then over this either clear nymph skin or flexi floss green or brown finish with peacock hearl for the caddis head, add a red or orange fluro collar by whipping some thread! You can tie with or without bead! i'll post some how to pics later if I get the camera settings right cheers Royce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Definitely without the bead, mainly the tie and colours I liked. Always on the lookout for different buzzer style patterns Windy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
