That's brilliant , i got out fished on a loch i know really well by a pal that put on only blue Zulu's ! Well done WWF 3 out of 3 ... I'm sticking to sedgehogs in the summer though

[bibio1]

the black pennel is a fly that i have not used in years but when you think of it it has everything that modern trout flies try to replicate. orange wing buds, silver rib for the gas in a hatching midge. must give it a good go this year and a kingfisher butcher another fly i caught lots of trout on.

cheers

Being more serious for a moment - the Pennell was the first fly I used, the first I owned and the first I caught a trout on. I suspect I may not be alone there!

[Otter Spotter]

The first trout I ever caught on a fly was with a BP aslo my PB was on a BP :-)

The Pennell is one of those flies that I want to do much better with but my inconsistant results using it sees it often relegated to the drying patch on my waistcoat where it remains until I'm uterly desparate for inspirition. It's not a bad relationship I suppose, as it is often in these moments that the Pennell comes in to it's own for me and has saved many a blank.

LOL Otter Spotter.

Bushy Palmer: really? No, I often fall back on it. I fish rivers more than lochs (down more to opportunity than choice I suppose) and I definitely find a Pennell in a smaller size - 16 say - will take fish fairly often

Bushy Palmer: really?

Erm . . Yes!

[Wildfisher]

First fly I ever caught a fish on was The Boysack White. self tied too.  :  Damn I really am  wonderful.     :lol:

[Midgie Hater]
