Not sure it would work for wild Browns but you never know. It can be fished under the bung but I think it’s best on a floater with figure of eight or longer slow pulls.
Very clean. I don't think I've heard that we shouldn't use UV resin on Glo Brite. Thanks for the tip. I keep hearing how good this fly can be. It has done nothing for me over the past couple years. I've had conversations with Phil Rowley about it as well. He swears it can't be beat when they want it. My understanding is he fishes it very fast. Sounds like you don't fish this that often. When you do, have you found a quick strip is best with this pattern?
Well tied Lindsay....as you say Peter is precise in the tying of this pattern. He often fishes the bank comps at Thrunton and does very well indeed. He actually has used this pattern for salmon and sea trout and guess what.....it works. 👍
Pal I think Peter will approve. This was a textbook example of how this fly should be done. All the key points of how to start with the correct direction to place the floss, keeping the balance of all materials used. The combination of the slim dressing aids to avoid overkill and even when static the floss amplifies any movement in the water, the slightest twitch often induces a fish to take. Sealing the ends of the legs with a tiny bit of glue is more effective than using heat. Many examples are a heavy grub with floss or even worse silly legs.
