Trevlett; The fish in New Zealand had better watch out. Those flies will do a lot of damage. Which Island will you be fishing? Hope you have a good happy trip. Jax

Cracking flies, Trev! Amazing what one can do when there's no palinka involved...

I'd probably throw in a few small pheasant tails too, just for the hell of it - 16s and 18s. Not very fancy but the NZ fish love them. And some of these, too - easily my most successful fly last year, especially in the small sizes.

When are you off again?

Hey Sean,
Waiting for some 16+18's to turn up. Had a load turn up with bum points. Dont 18's look like shark hooks compaired to 32's!!!

I only have two months experience of NZ fishing - fishing the south island - but to me, the flies look great. I'm tying Wulfs and green Blowflys myself right now, will be going down to NZ in a few months and can't wait. I also tie a lot of cdc n elk/deer hair sedges, some with a lighter wing than yours, so they are easilier spottet on the water. I think the big ones are great indicator flies and also an ok imitation of a cicada.
Most of my beaded nymps are with black paintet beads. I think that sometimes the gold beads look too flashy in the very bright water. I would reccomend bringing a black marker pen, so you are able to tone down the gold beads - just in case.
As I wrote my experience is limited, so take it for what its worth.
Hope you'll have a great trip.
Cheers
Kristian

Hi Kristian,
Iv just bought some dark grey tunsten beads so that should do it!
Will do some more tying this week and post some pics of the results.

Hope your trip is great too!

Cheers

My two cents worth ...

tie up some nymphs or emergers in black ie the CDC emergers but all black and some small # 18 black midges and nymphs.

You can always fish them off a bigger dry too

It's a great fly. I remember when Dennis Black first showed it to me back in 1990... a Ken Shimizaki invention as I recall.

AWESOME FLY!

I absolutely love this fly, although I thought it was designed by Hans Weilenmann

Great fly regardless.

Clark Reid · Post by **Clark Reid** » Tue Dec 08, 2009 6:52 pm

I believe there's two different styles...

that one might be closer to Hans pattern... Ken's one had the CDC palmered.
