Brown Sedgehog

  This sedgehog is a cracking puller for wild browns and stocked fish alike. The flash and hot spot combined with the strong silhouette from the dark brown body make it a good top dropper choice for pulling through the waves on dull days.

Mohican Mayfly

  Oliver Edwards' Mohican May is a great choice for imitating duns of the larger mayfly species like green drakes down to perhaps March browns or LDOs. It floats well, offers a great footprint and certainly fools picky trout. I find it to be a better performer on rivers than stillwaters, but others do have good success on stillwaters with it. Materials list Hook: Kamasan B160 size 8-12 or B170 size 10-14 Thread: Yellow, Olive or primrose Uni 8/0 Tail: Moose body hair Body: 2mm foam in a suitable colour Wing: Deer hair Hackle: 2 suitably coloured cock hackle- grizzle, yellow, olive etc. Thorax:Dark dubbing Book of the Month 8: Strip-Set is available here Amazon.com https://amzn.to/3kizn9F Amazon.co.uk https://amzn.to/3wvglSo Using the link will help support my channel at no extra cost to you.

Yellow Wulff

  Mayfly time is the best time of year in many fisheries, the yellow Wulff is a fly you shouldn't be without when they are around. This variant will serve you well on rivers and still waters alike, especially when the ephemera vulgata mayfly are are hatching. Material list Hook: Kamasan B170 size 10 or 12 Thread: Light olive Uni 8/0 Wing: Grey squirrel tail dyed yellow Tail: Grey squirrel tail dyed yellow Body: Yellow seal fur Hackle: Grizzly dyed WOIGO To support the channel, get access to the monthly tying sessions, members only content and enter giveaways head to https://www.patreon.com/flickingfeathers and sign up or head to https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/flickingfeathers and donate Book of the Month 7; The practical angler is available here: https://amzn.to/3kLyBSW Amazon UK https://amzn.to/3EZxneY Amazon.com Bookmarking or using my link will help support my channel.

Shadow Mayfly
