I will never get this fly out of mind. It’s up on my permanent google search bar. 7 years ago now. I tied 3 and to this day I have not fished it. But it is a beautiful thing and For years I fished streamers exclusively and am drawn more to them. I pray all is well with you and yours.

Hello Davie, I'm so glad I found your channel again, i haven't had any alerts for a while, I've always liked your videos on fly tying, i catch loads of fish on the flies i learned to tie from you

[davidhart]

Never the less this pattern is bound to catch fish 🎣

Hi Davie...I love this little minnow, perfect for those hungry Bull trout here in Canada! Thanks for the instructions always first class!

[edperry]

This is a great fry pattern - one of the best I've seen. I especially like that it can be tied small or large. I'd fish this with a lot of confidence if the trout were hitting fry...

extremely effective on brown trout.i used it all season and it did its job every time from early spring to late summer.

Thanks for sharing this one Davie . Wicked little baitfish pattern loving the gills, flash and eye.. I can see any predator having a go at this one. If you get the time to do a sandeel pattern sometime. Would be much appreciated. Thanks for sharing your skills...

One of my favorites, stopped fishing as many Buggers because these are more fun and effective for me here in the US.

Apprezzo molto la finezza dei suoi streamer.Alcuni pensano che basta avvolgere qualcosa all'amo per funzionare.Tutto deve avere un equilibrio, una funzione, una proporzione.Gli streamer sono esche da intenditori.

very nice pattern, ,I could see that working on smallmouth bass.walleye crappie

I'd tie the wings shorter if I were fishing for landlocked salmon in Maine. They like to strike short, at the tail, and I want them to have a good opportunity to contact the hook. 👍
