The most amazing grayling flies ever.

*Hello, All!* All of the following concerns catching European grayling, although most likely the Siberian will behave in a similar way. That's how much fly fishermen have made their lives difficult by trying to wash their fish varieties of different flies made from exotic materials (such as feathers of a jungle rooster) and standing immeasurably for our stingy brother-fisherman-grandmother. However, what’s interesting is that “branded” fly fishing flies our Ural grayling bites many times worse than our soviet self-propelled gun from fluorescent nipple and wool. Or, to be more precise, professionally he ignores tied flies for fly fishing, the same ones that I tie, he goes like mad. So, first you need to take a Japanese hook (very good if shiny) with a short fore-end made by, for example, Kamatsu and multi-colored fluorescent nipple (sold in fishing stores). Why fluorescent? It was experimentally established that the grayling sees it from much further away distances than the usual multi-colored cambric. And in general, fish loves everything bright parrot colors. The first thing you need to do is wind the thread on the hook (this is similar to the usual process knitting flies), form the shape of a fly. The body of insects is divided into 3 parts: head, chest and abdomen. This is what I usually proceed from. If there is wool (stillit’s better if it’s badger), then with such winding you can form hairs from it flies on the body, or imitation of wings. As a result, we get an almost finished fly. Now it needs to be painted. For To do this, we impregnate the wound thread with glue in some places and put it on the body of the ring is made of a fluorescent nipple (they can also be fixed with glue). When the presence of hairs and wings (by the way, they can also contain small bird feathers use) this is more difficult to do, so I sometimes put rings on certain places of the fly's body even when winding the thread. Ring colors can be vary. At one time I threw balls with three mice, among which one was with fluorescent nipple. The rest were made from "gold plated" rings rod from a car mixed with black cambric. As you already understood, that's it The bites were on flies made from a fluorescent nipple. It consisted of 3 rings bright green and 2 bright orange, which alternated (one after another). THEORY. In principle, not only graylings love parrot colors. In theory fluorescent nipple can be used in winter on jigs, or hooked onto it on ordinary hooks (you get something like “light jigs”). Space for There is a lot of creativity, in short - you have to try. And finally, there is a version that super-bright “luminous” colors act on fish as additionalirritants, prompting her to appropriate behavior. :) /That’s all, All, you can scroll further.../
