I was reading autumns T&S and noticed a very nice trout caught on Loch Heilan on a Jaffacake Wet Fly. I have never heard of it and wondered if anyone in this forum knows the pattern?

Cheers

Billy

I don't know the pattern but I think that was supposed to be my fish from June.

I'll need to check the photo to see if it has my fly in its scissors  :D

I'd also be interested to know the recipe if it is one of your flies. Although my tying never goes much past nymphs and dry flies so it'll probably look a shambles, but with all the hill loch fishing I have planned next season I'd better get practicing tying some wet flies.

Not one I have heard of if indeed a fly will be a  pattern that some local tied & gave it a daft name may well be a real Jaffa Cake as I hear that some locals are not adverse to using a Blackbird Fancy Fly on this loch or a wee spin early season before it weeds up.  :roll:

Not billy but could be the fish....you'll need to check if he caught it in the weed bed you released it in billy  :lol:  :worms  :worried

Billy

He actually looks a lot younger than me.

And now that I think of it I think the fish I lost was much bigger than that one.
It seems to get bigger every time I think about it. :makefun

Billy if it was your fish we will never know cause it has been chapped.

Another one bites the dust! It must be sustainable alan or I suppose there'd be none left by now. This is the only reference I can find to a fly with Jaffa (other than a blob  :lol: ) not sure this is the fly in question though
