Instructions from instructor (Nathan)

This month’s fly is an experimental one.

 

There’s a fly called ‘The Spectra Nymph’.

 

Now there are many variations of this pattern, so I thought we’d get members to see what weird and wonderful creations they can come up with.

 

I will guide on how to tie, and give the list of materials, but colours I’ll leave up to the individual.

 

Hook: Hanak H450BL or Basic Nymph Hook. Size #12, #14 or #16

Body: Spectra or Diamond Brite Dubbing. (Any Colour)

Tail: Hackle Fibres.

Thorax: Spectra or Diamond Brite Dubbing (Any Colour), or Peacock Herl.

Rib: Copper, Gold, Silver or Coloured wire.

Bead: Gold, Copper, Silver, Black or Coloured.

Hotspot: Fluorescent Thread. Hot Pink or Orange.

 

With the spawning run approaching, the fish will be quite aggressive and not as selective, so it’s a great time to experiment and try something different, and out of the ordinary.

Should be a bit of fun, and we can compare patterns and have a laugh at the end.

 

See you There,

 

Nathan
