What have you tied today?

[Clan Chief]

There is a chance that I might have my first ever chance of salmon fishing in two weeks time and was very kindly given some salmon doubles yesterday[bit on the large size but beggars can't be choosers.] so thought I would put them to good use. This is the first.

Something along the lines of a cascade I think..........

Well done to Clan Chief for starting it. What a great idea!

Some FORUMS don't get that many posts and views!   :lol:

When fishing rivers this season I've kept things simple and this is the only dry fly pattern I've used( I've used emergers too), in a size 14. Suppose it's a type of dirty polly but instead of trimming the lower hackle it's pushed into a fan shape like the deer hair on a comparadun. Piss easy to tie, unsinkable, and trout seem to love them whatever is hatching.

Cheers Col,
I HATE deer hair, so it's basically a hackle comparadun with extra floatability/sighter :-)

Pale dubbing and a light coloured hackle....:-)
