{{+1}}Olive epoxy bugger -silver TBH, UV spine & orange butt{{-1}}
{{start}}
This fly is my take on one of the flies that have been referred to me as being productive flies for use in Northern Ireland lakes that I will be fishing in the 2018 Commonwealth Fly Fishing Championships.
Because of the lack of body dressing and the epoxy body this fly sinks quickly and the mirage tinsel spine that I have added flashes, in a way I am confident will be enticing, to stocked rainbows in particular, as the fly is being worked back to the boat or shore are very enticing.
A streamlined fast sinking fly that will anchor your team. | The UV mirage tinsel is just a fine line along the spine but is enough to ensure that the fly is seen at darker depths. |
