Victor Furze was the man who invented the Vauxhall flies ,the Viva being his most popular, but he had a good one called the" cavalier" I used it for Seatrout, but I have lost the pattern, any one out there got it? it worked for broonies , I've just had a week off so back to work tomorrow, curses
breac
Can?t find anything on that Breac. Why did he call them Vauxhall flies, was it because they worked fine for the first 10 casts then fell apart?
Noo Fred,
Yer lining yerself up for massive lawsuits from all the "Nova" " Corsa " brigade. They must be better than thae Nissans !!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Richy
I?ll tell you Richy these Nissans are amazingly reliable. I have had 4 Vauxhalls over the years, 3 of them were new. My mates have had them too. All I can say is never again. Bad gear boxes, rust on the roofs, the list is endless! But this has nothing to with fishin so ..............
back to the flees. These vivas and things are 'bow flies are they not?

Brec, I used to know a Vauxhall Victor, but never spoke with his brother Wyvern :lol:
It's the way you tell,em Fred! :roll: Breac
Is a cavalier not just a butcher with a gold body? I've got one in my fly box that never ever gets used cos i always look next to it an pick out the butcher. I thought it was meant to be more for sea trout than broons.
as I remember the Cavalier it had a red and fluo Green body a red game hackle fronted with a Partridge hackle I cant remember the order of the body the rib or the tail, it fished well for broons and the late lamented seatrout ( Round Here anyway) your fly sounds like a Hardys gold Butcher:( breac
