Howard Croston is a double World Champion at fly fishing so when he decides to share something it is always worth consideration. This is the Kick Back Cormorant the idea is that when fished positioning the weight at the back of the fly will allow it to drop back in a more natural way. If the weight is places at the front this would fish completely differently.
Howard has given permission for me to demonstrate this fly I hope you enjoy it.

Hi Lindsay. I watched Howards video a while back & purchased a couple of these flies sizes #14 with black & orange beads. On the dropper under a fab…wow! Third cast out at Bangour fishery & a lovely 3lb rainbow. I purchased them to copy if I liked them then saw your video on tying so have three flies ready to go. Orange, chartreuse & black beads. Another easy to follow video Lindsay, thank you & tight lines. Derick.

Go for it!

I fish Cormorants all the time. Can use as a Buzzer drifting with the breeze or as a mini lure with mixed retrieves . Great fly

@lindsayiflyfish 7 месяцев назад

Lots of utility for sure 👌

@lindsayiflyfish Год назад

Thanks Robbie your a star!

@christophermckillen6468 Год назад

Looks an odd looking cormorant Lindsay, well tied, will try it out after I have tied a few up in differant sizes.👍🎣🎣

@lindsayiflyfish Год назад

Let me know how it goes I want to give it a go as well.

@FlyTyer1948 Год назад

The intended fall-back effect at the pause of the retreive makes great sense. I am a bit concerned about anything that reduces the hook gape. I wonder if it would work to substitute lead or weighted wire to replace the bead. Your thoughts? I would appreciate it if you could report your experience when you fish the fly. I would love to test it, but I am no longer able to fish. I donate my flies & want to be sure they work for recipients who are learning to flyfish.

@lindsayiflyfish Год назад

I am sure Howard used a tungsten bead. Maybe some turns of lead wire would work not quite as well though. When I get the chance I will let you know how it goes 👍

@FlyTyer1948 Год назад

Thank you.

@Steviemac05 Год назад

Well tied Lindsay 👍 Trying to work out if its a great idea or a step too far being a mad inventor on a vice 😂😂👍

@lindsayiflyfish Год назад

I can see the logic behind it and will be giving it a go.

@bobbell5265 Год назад

Great angler is Howard...he comes to the fishery to test new Hardy rods etc along with his partner Lucy who gives casting tuition. He did a lot of testing with his drwback bung.....absolutely deadly. 👍👍👍

@bobbell5265 Год назад

Drawback 😆😆😆

@bobbell5265 Год назад

The kick backs do work...I,ve fished them for a while Lindsay 👍

@lindsayiflyfish Год назад

I might pick one up and give it a go reminds me of the old waggler floats.

@wvlongshooter3912 Год назад

Fulling mill can’t send the bung back here to America yet because of legality reasons with our fish and wildlife bureau. Through a conversation with fulling mill, they are going to try to release it this fall. Standing by.

@bobbell5265 Год назад

Very much a waggler Lindsay

@michaelshaw8370 Год назад

To use this pattern in a competition. Could you as a work around substitute the bead for a ball of Fluor floss then soak it with UV resin harden with a UV light then add a couple of extra coats to give the extra weight?

@lindsayiflyfish Год назад

Maybe but I doubt it would have the weight to achieve the desired effect.

I have been using some "craft shop " marabou ( that I bought last time I was in the UK) and been pleasantly surpriced by the quality!!! The same shop actually sells the same yarn that Textreme uses as theyr " extreme string " exept it is like 50 yards per hank/docket and about half the price.

@lindsayiflyfish Год назад

Hobby Craft is a great shop for finding bits and bobs at a reasonable price.

@niklasgrindbo2151 Год назад

I aggree about the nature's spirit marabou being not very good, which is a tad strange, since most of their stuff is excellent, especially deer hair and dubbing.

@lindsayiflyfish Год назад

Yes their elk is very good as well.

@bobbell5265 Год назад

Call in to Thrunton Long Crag if you are ever passing this way. 👍

@lindsayiflyfish Год назад

Graham always spoke highly of the place it is definitely on the list.

@bobbell5265 Год назад

Let me know if you ever do and I will make sure I am on duty to look after you 👍

@davidlivie2920 Год назад

I literally got a take on my first cast with this fly on the point; I lost this fish so I don't know if it took the cormorant or one of my droppers. However, I hooked up again a few casts later and brought the fish to the net and it had taken the cormorant.👌

@lindsayiflyfish Год назад

Does a whole lot for your confidence when you get a take straight away 👌

@wvlongshooter3912 Год назад

I guess one would use a tungsten bead fir the fly ti work. Maybe I’m wrong ? Thanks!!

@lindsayiflyfish Год назад

A tungsten bead could be and is used in the original dressing but I don’t see how a brass bead would not work 🤷‍♂️

@wvlongshooter3912 Год назад
