One of the most successful flies I have used both home and abroad Col. Haresear klink with a light brown or ginger hackle.  :

Crackers, Col. Not you, the flies  :lol:

[Clan Chief]

Lovely! I escpecially like the klink.

1st attempt at a Baetis Nymph.

I wanted to try and get it thinner but the lead foil is the issue. Could maybe just only lead the thorax. I'm going to try grizzle hackle for the legs and use an olive marker to get the banding effect.

[Black-Don]

Nice flee and it will catch fish Dave but if you're not happy, you could maybe use fine copper wire for the abdomen and foil for the thorax or a heavier wire for the thorax. Check out some of Davy macphails leaded flies on you tube they are really helpful.

[davefromtheattic]

Good Idea, thanks for the suggestion.

Been doing some  Gand H sedges, on size 4 longshanks.

Nicely tied Col.

As wake flies (pulled) they seem to work ok as suggestions of food, or at best a fluttering fly.

I reckon they are all wrong as sedges though, in terms of what matters - the silhouette.

Still, none of that matters if they catch fish

Wowzers Col, they're some mouthful, but knowing you you'll find a trout big enought to eat them
