Really nice detached fly body. In the summer I go back to the tiers I like and watch their older video's taped before I found them. Keeps me in the tying zone to produce some patterns I have never thought of or seen in a book. Thanks for sharing. It was clear and concise. All the best, Sean
So you fished it on the river Aire near Gargrave. Lovely river - I fished the Aire and the becks which feed it up by Airton, Eshton and Flasby back in the 60s. Happy days. I fly fish in Western Alberta now. Nice tying - thank you.
That’s a cracking idea of using the pheasant tail with the detached body. Haven’t seen that before so will definitely try that myself. Lovely overall pattern Mak and tied flawlessly as usual pal.
"Mak-Flies" is what Chinese people order in Macdonalds! (sorry couldnt resist the joke). Amazing pattern fly. Ive been fishing since 5 years old (now 45) and just discovering the world of fly fishing having spent a lifetime course fishing. Though I have fly fished for dace. Thanks for your inspiration.
