  Took Matty one cast so if my maths is correct it would take me about 32,000 casts, not a bad fly!

  Hi Alec enjoyed tying this fly i am quite a novice but found it relatively easy even for me, two things how would you fish it, and what length is the tail of the fly thank you.

• 
  @alecharveyfishingandflytying23 күн бұрын

  Hi Roland , the fly is easy to tie and catches lots of trout , the tail is just a few mm long as I tie them on size 20 and 18 carp hooks . You can fish them casting to rising fish or drift them across the surface, and the fish will come up blind and take them . You can also slowly figure of eight them just subsurface and the fish will readily take them. Check my fishing videos using them, and you will see me using them and catching fish.👍🎣🐟

  Cheers Arthur , the washing line method is when you have a floating fly on the point of your leader , such as a daddy and nymph on the dropper , the point fly keeps up in the water and the nymph slowly sinks , the leader curve looks like a washing line 😀 Very effective method 👌

  Hi Alec, I don’t usually leave comments on KZread channels but after today’s event I just had to post this. Today was one of the rare days so far this year on my local club water where dry fly fishing looked like it could be worthwhile. I started off with my usual go to fly which is a black top hat buzzer and I caught two on that in a couple of hours but had lots of short takes and snatches at the fly. On landing the second one I noticed the foam (top hat) had been caught in the netting and broken off so I sat down and had an early lunch! Then I looked for a new fly to tie on and next to my top hats I noticed some nothing flies that I had tied but not yet used so I tied one on. Wow. Instantly fussy feeders suddenly started smashing it. I had ginked it up lightly and in a short period of time I had completed my limit by catching and releasing a further 8. In that time I did not have to re gink the fly and it took fish that I had seen rising, also fished blind and finally when slowly figure of eighted back. I also missed quite a few. Can’t wait to try it again. Thanks for sharing the dressing and how to use it here. Regards John Powell
