A blog about fly fishing and fly tying. Mostly for brown trout and pike but a few other species every now and again too. I intend to cover a lot of different “how to” type of things too. As well as fly tying instructions for some of my most successful fly patterns.
This fly was created by Canon Greenwell in 1860. It is still as popular today as it ever was. This fly has stood the test of time for a very good reason; it works and it works well! This is a fly no river trout angler should be without.
This is my own creation to imitate the Iron Blue Dun. I’ve experimented a lot with different colours, different materials etc and this is the combination that I found works the best for imitating the I.B.D.
Originally created as a lake fly in 1860 as a midge imitation. It is also just as effective on the rivers. A must have pattern for any wet fly angler on the rivers or lakes.
