On The Fly with David Wilson
Our Club members participate in all areas of
fly tying. Some specialise in bass bugs and others
in blue water. We have a trout tying contingents
who specialise in flies from size 18 Midges to
size 6 Fuzzy Wuzzies.
We have regular Club tying nights, where we share
techniques and ideas. There is always a member
or two swapping the latest secret pattern or material.
Club members have developed some of their own
patterns and are working on others.
Salt water tiers have developed patterns as diverse as
Fish Head & Entrails, developed by Gordon Dunlop in
collaboration with Peter Morse. Chris Wright, holder of
a number of ANSA records, swears by it. He finds that
the Fish Head fly works well after pelagics have slashed
into a school of bait fish. Alex Sums shrimp is another
innovative successful pattern. Nick Constantinou sparkle
nymph not only looks like Christmas it is Christmas!
