GREAT Jig: I only changed the hook.
replaced with a 1/0 Eagle Claw, Bronze Hook.
This jig will work you to death catching BASS.
Down south at Reelfoot Lake you can catch
2.5 to 3 lbs Crappie with this same jig…
Your videos are the BEST……
Thank you for this Jigs.

Dave,
Have you ever gone saltwater fly fishing, if so could you make some saltwater fly tying videos?

Hi Laxy
Thanks for your comments.
Trout and salmon flies come in all shapes and sizes. There are patterns devized by the Americans for their waters , but only their bass flies are different to UK patterns. Certain parts of Europe have their own patterns which I think are tied to fish their types of river. Many years ago I used to tie flies for the white farmers in Kenya and they were English north country spider patterns. I have recently fished New Zealand and caught ‘proper trout’ on small nymphs and woolley buggers.
It is only mankind that thinks about what to use …….the fish are looking for anything that looks edible.
A good book to read is Taff Prices , FLY PATTERNS AN INTERNATIONAL GUIDE .
Hope this helps
Happy Fishing
DaveC. and the Team

Hi Dave and team

I’ve watched all you videos and thoroughly enjoyed them, thank you. I’m from South Africa and was wondering whether trout flies are universal all over the world or if specific flies only work in certain areas / countries.

Please advise.

Regards
Laxy

Hi Green Reel Man
Thanks for your comments. We had not thought about doing foam flies but will bear it in mind. They are simple to tie just so long as you dont want to copy Gods creatures too exactly.
Happy Fishing

Hi Nigel
Thanks for your comments. You must find it difficult sourcing your materials out in Bahrain. Hope you have a good trip to Scotland and catch more than your share.
Happy Fishing
