23 Mar 2022 Fly Tying – The Bredbo

BJ led. “The Bredbo – first fly of the Monaro?”

BJ said that it’s like a March Brown Wet but slightly different. It’s a hopper pattern which may still be relevant this season. Special bits are mottled wing slips (hen or turkey or partridge brown) and Golden Pheasant tippets plus partridge beard hackle. Everything is infinitely variable.

BJ wrote that a very good description of the fly can be found at http://www.fishingwithflies.com/Bredbo.htm

BJ Provided some hints in this scan.

After the tying session he provided an image of his flies having a test swim. Saying “Should have shown this before camera off. The tented wing helps them sit in the still water film for quite a while”
