Fishietales

Great little fly Birchy mate, try using the hook side of a piece of velcro to rough up the dubbing it works well, oh, and your first attempt ain't to bad either, and believe me i've caught fish on fleas that look a lot worse than that one.

colour is just representative, you'll find fish take most colours on cheeks, they seem to see the cheeks as the trigger mechanism, and at different depths colours vary so much, what is lime green at a few feet, can look blue fifteen feet down, same goes for cloudy water, it all changes the colour of the fly, so it makes sense to have a variation of colours, we found late in the season over here fish were taking buzzers with the body made from bright blue polypropylene rope fibres, a small black head, and holographic tinsel as a wing case, we had over 40 fish in three nights with it, if I can find one I'll post it for you to see.

BBB, it'll work fine anywhere, and it don't need eyes, the fish need to see it, it don't need to see the fish,

Couldn't agree more with the two last comments, you sometimes find as well it pays to have them with a variation of coloured cheeks, as sometimes the colour you have on will not take fish, eg. you might have a buzzer with lime cheeks, but the fish are taking orange, so make up a range of colours as well as a range of sizes, say #10's to #16's that should suit every eventuality.

nice selection of buzzers mate, they'd fish well over here to,

shouldn't that read Those who are Celt's, and those who wish they were celt's I know cuileag, means fly, haven't figured the the beggining out yet, must be irish gaelic

Great tying, you could also try putting a rib on it either round tinsel or holographic, it'll make them sparkle a bit, good for coloured water

we only use the gaelic to confuse the sasanacs, Suas Leis a' Ghàidhlig! Up with Gaelic! "Mar sin leibh an dràsda." roughly translated means "ta ta for now" "Slàinte mhòr agad!" again roughly means "Good health to you" and is pronounced (SLAHN-tchuh VORR AH-kut!) or (slanj-a-var) in english John ( ee'yan )

How aboot the Canadian national anthem in gaelic O Chanada, dùthaich nan gaisgeach còir, Crùn air do cheann de dhuilleag dhearg is òir. Bho chuan gu cuan le òran binn, Do chliù nì sinn a luaidh, Fo dhìon do sgéith tha saorsa ghrinn Nach spìon an namhaid uainn. O Chanada, dùrachd ar cridh', Sonas le sìth is maitheas Dhè d'ar tìr. Sonas le sìth is maitheas Dhè d'ar tìr "Slàinte mhòr agad!" John

You'd get a shopping trolley in an Eighteen wheeler, gotta be cheaper buying one of those rather than paying a therapist get one with big crome fenders ( shiney stuff )

Och laddie, g'tha wee lassie a break, she's no to na w'dinnie recognise britain, an that Scotland is tha only land w'know

I seem to remember somewhere reading that the originals were made up using spun deer hair to make them float, maybe wrong though, but the ones I've used don't seem to sink either, must have a different fritz or something, but boobies are mostly banned up here in Northumberland doesn't matter what line you use, you can only use them on the reservoirs, where anything goes, and as Tupps so rightly said, I'm a traditionalist, " how do you know that my man " and would have nothing to do with such evil little blighters

'Centralize' No my dear, you need an Factory unit,

Baltic, England, and Promaris, all do Self inflating life vests, that are designed for fly fishing, and very good I might add, just remember to puchase the re-arming kit just in case the un-imaginable should happen
