Fly Candy

A couple of red/white fury doubles tied with just raccoon fur. These swim so well under the surface.The jointed tail wiggles slightly but the racoon mostly does all the work. Super light and one of my favourite flies to fish with.

Fly Candy

2 new Bangers hot off the vise. These flies are starting to become one of my favourite flies to fish with and have caught regularly on them this season. They are an absolute pleasure to cast and jusy look fantstic under the water. Pink & white has been exceptionally good as well as the orange version.

The Chartreuse white model also seems to be working for me this season which wasn't the case last year.Whether its the action the materials give off when I retrieve this fly back is the reason I'm still figuring out. I generally wouldn't use this colour on gin clear days but as were having an exceptionally clear day summer this yearand so I've been using them none the less with great success I might add.

I'm going to be tying some up in black/pink and chartreuse/black next to use on overcast days and early morning sessions.

Pikesaber pike fly rod review

Its been a long time coming but for me to give a full account of this rod I've needed time to test it properly. I wasn't prepared to to just use it a couple of times.....catch no fish with it then give it a glowing review. I've fished with it 4 hours a day everyday for over 3 months now....some 240 hrs in all weather conditions,so it's gone through its paces. Its best viewed in PRESENTATION OR PAPER VIEW - click fullscreen mode then click the tab left of the envelope. I wont be using this rod again and will be giving it away in a couple of weeks as a prize to somebody........once I figure out what the competition will be about.
