dirvin21 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Nice, I've started dabbling in fly fishing recently looking at those gives me motivation to try harder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Hall Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 Good stuff dirvin21 since I took up fly fishing and tying just can't put it down, if I was to go out with my conventional gear and had a real good session catching fish I would be like wish I had my fly rod. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingie chaser Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Looks good Ben So what is the length of material made of that goes from the front loop to the large eye hook?? Wire or just mono line? Haven't seen that done before, looks interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Hall Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 (edited) Kingie chaser it's stainless wire, 80mm big game shank made by Fishkull is the brand if I remember. The hook is attached to the wire shank with a spit ring, so if the head or tenticles get chewed off I can just tie a new head and the whole fly isn't wrecked Edited August 13, 2021 by Ben Hall More info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flycamp Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Great looking fly mate. I’m in the same boat as you - recently taken up fly (after a long time conventional) and love it but it has its moments at my starter stage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsswordfisherman Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 We used to have a fly swap here on fishraider a long time ago. Members would make one and send to another member who would return the favour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
