Fly Tying

Classic flies always work there is no doubt. But sometimes, when we fish on rivers with high fishing pressure it is better if we use new flies. Personally I love to use classic flies but in these situations i tie slightly variations like this one presented.

Recipe:

• strong hook in size 10-14
• tungsten bead in any color you like
• tail from guard fur ( squirrel for small flies and hare for big flies )
• ribbing made of tinsel
• body made of light olive-Argentinian hare fur
• thorax made of brown and black -Argentinian hare fur
• hot spot made of orange thread

Nothing new under the sun: hare fur, ribbing, bead and hot spot: the complete recipe for success. But this combination of colors ( yellow-olive with brown and black) is a winner for trout fishing. And I’m referring at late Spring and early Summer

In this case I came with a Argentinian fur instead of my classic spiky dubbing because I noticed that in super fast flowing parts a super spiky fly works better. Maybe because is super buggy or maybe because the texture and fibers are working better under the strong water currents. I do not know but I certainly know that they are more effective 🙂
