Lyall has advised:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In preparation for John\u2019s Saltwater event on 2-4 December we will be tying a version of the Pink Thing saltwater fly.\u00a0 It is one of the most popular flies for use in our region.\u00a0 Of course Clousers and Scuds are right up there also depending on what you are targeting.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Our tie on 23 November from 7:30 on Zoom will be fairly free form \u2013 meaning use whatever materials you have which approximate the materials list below.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I will be using:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Hook \u2013 Mustad #1 wide gape C47SD.\u00a0 Any straight eye, wide gape saltwater hook in the size your target fish might take will suffice.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Eye \u2013 dumbbell eyes.\u00a0 Any size or colour you think might work.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Thread \u2013 white Uni 6\/0 thread.\u00a0 Go wild and use pink thread, even fluoro if you wish but make it relatively thick and robust.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Body \u2013 white Schlappen or any white chicken feather 8 cm or so long.\u00a0 White Grizzley Hackle as a lateral line.\u00a0 Pink or pearl flash.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Collar \u2013 pink Schlappen<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We will talk about the RIO fly line you might like to use to cast a wind resistant fly and the wind-beater casting technique you may wish to use.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Join us to tie or just to watch<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
