Not sure if its sold in ROI, but brush-on Krazy Glue is terrific for coating these underbodies and eyes. Or zap-a-gap, but that tends to involve the fly fishing markup. I've found Krazy doesn't discolor as fast as other CA glues and often finish streamer heads with it.
Same. In MI we call those tandom deer hair streamers with a couple added materials and a brand new cheesy name. Some people make these tweaked flies out to be groundbreaking new ones. Schultz and Mad River Outfitters are horrible for this.
Bet you were awhile tidying uo after tying that fly.. Totally forbidden on the English rivers i have access to (max fly length 35mm) But great to watch, thanks
Great video as usual George and lovely looking fly, but I seem 2 remember that the last time I saw you tying a similar fly and using a blade there was some blood involved 😄 ( Adaire Springs show)
