The Hawthorne fly hatch is as good as the mayfly. When they are on,they are on.
Thanks Liphook. I will put it in the wallet for next may. I’ve caught plenty on this pattern
This is as simple to tie a pattern as they come iasgair,and deadly when the hawthornes are out. Yes the wing lays flat along their body,so for me,I don’t see the point of the wing element of the fly.Iasgair wrote: ↑Sat Nov 05, 2022 11:02 pm Very nicely done Ian. I always thought Hawthorn flies were more difficult, but you make it look very simple.
You say the wings on an actual Hawthorn lay flat against the body? Ok, that gives me an idea.
Great tutorial, buddy.
Oh, if this is a dry fly, which I think it is, do NOT put it in the wallet I sent you. It will crush the hackle. Use fly boxes for dry flies, and the wallet for wet flies.
You could never mistake the Hawthorne fly iasgair,their back legs hand down lazily.Iasgair wrote: ↑Sun Nov 06, 2022 4:07 pm They say we do have them because of apple shipments. Apparently they like apples. But I have never seen one flying about. I had to Google it to see what they look like.
I understand your idea of no wings, I truly do. And adding something that's not really needed is just extra steps. But what I want to do is just for myself and tying skill.
It is a good looking fly you tied. I have never made legs like that before because I never had a reason to. But that's going to change.
Oh you can be sure I won't let the classics fade away Liphook,just like my jokes
