The big sedge are here!!

[piscatus absentis]

This is a big strong flee for a good wave.

Size 8.
Tail - Two turns of bright green wool or floss
Body - 6 or 7 strands of peacock herl (I said it was big)
Wing - Any well marked brownish feather.  I use hen pheasant centre tail.
Hackle - 6 or 7 turns of red game.  The bigger the better.

How to fish it.  Three on a cast.  Long fast strips in a good wave.  Hold on tight.

Could have been doing with this up at Geades on Monday !! Big waves and all.

Any chance of a picture, and I take it the herl is wound  :oops:  :oops:

Can see where your going though    

All the best

Smashing,

I like the look of this flee.  That's tomorrow night sorted out then.    

When the sedges are on it must be deadly. Do you gink it up or fish it sub surface  :?  :?

Thanks for the picture Piscatus

All the best
