Love's Lure

Post by Johnno » Fri Jun 10, 2016 11:21 pm

Sorry pples I'm going mad posting fly pics but was looking for the Parsons' Glory for Ray and came across all these old pics in Photobucket that I'd taken some years back and thought I may as well share them...

This one is: World Famous in New Zealand, often seen as a dry fly more so than as a wet, however the wet fly is a great little snail pattern fished slowly across lake weedbeds.

Sizes 10 to 18, body of peacock herl, hackle black hen and peacock sword tied back as the wing.

Image

The dry has a tail and body of black cock, a body of peacock and wings of a bunch of peacock sword herls positioned upright and split and that fly is a local standard beetle or blowfly pattern primarily for still water. A variation of that is the hackle tied parachute.

Way cool. Does look like a good snail pattern.

I need a whole row of these in my trout box. What a terrific pattern.

I'm sure that's a significant producer, after all why wouldn't it be? Nice stuff!
