1fish 0 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 I have been tying a few flies of late and thought I would share a few cheap and easy ones with you folks out there. The first fly is a Midge Pupae it is made up of red thread, black thread a small piece of holographic tinsel(which could be substituted with plain silver Xmas tinsel) and clear nail polish.The next couple are damsel/bugger type patterns which are literally a hook marabou and some fine wire. These flies are prime candidates for blinging up for saltwater applications . You can get marabou in nearly every color under the sun from most cheap shops for a couple of bucks along with the wire the most expensive part of the fly is the hook .

1fish 0 Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 G'day afishyfish,No offence taken at all mate. The midge pupae(mozzie relative) is tied on a sz16 hook so it's pretty small I also tie them on sz18's.You can fish this fly as a single or in a train of 2 or 3 flies which is what I normally do, a weighted point fly(nymph or wooly bugger) then two of these guys on droppers with a figure of 8 retrieve deadly on trout in the lakes around here when the water starts to warm Cheers1Fish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
