Sparkle Mayfly

Sparkle Mayfly. Wings are two colors of CDC (natural and white from Trout Line) with a few strands of very thin flash. There’s a little sparkle in the wings. It’s hard to show that on the picture, in reality, it’s looks very posh! Thorax is normal dubbing, wingcase is made from pheasant and the body is made with Polish Quills, secured with Bug Bond. Tails are synthetic Mayfly Tails. For the hook I’ve used a D23BL # 14 from Trout Line.

This is a little Caddis Pupa weighted with a tungsten bead as a head. The abdomen is made with thread, green Polish Quills and Bug Bond uv resin. Pheasant as wing case, also secured with Bug Bond, dubbing and some fibres from a partridge feather as legs. Very simple, but a good fishing fly.

Fly Tier’s Little Helper – Part 1 – Bug Bond Pro Light Mains Adapter

Veröffentlicht am 14/09/2014 von Holger Lachmann

There are a lot of tools for the fly tier on the market. Some are good, some are useless, some are expensive but worth the money, some are cheap and still super usefull.

I used a lot of different tools and gimmicks in the last 20 years, and in this series I want to show things, which worked well for me and I’ll try to tell you why.

I begin with something very special, the Bug Bond Pro Light Mains Adapter.

When you look at my flies, you’ll see that I work a lot with uv resin. No matter if I tie dries and nymphs or streamer and flies for pike, seatrout, asp, …

Working with uv resin means, you have to use a uv torch with maximun battery power to harden the resin. I often saw people using a torch with low power, wondering, why the resin won’t cure like it should.

Bug Bond offers a nice solution for the power problem: An adapter for your pro torch to connect it with your power supply at home. You just have to screw the adapter into the torch and you have a super strong uv torch every time.

To connect the adapter with the torch, you have to screw off the switch at the end.

Maybe you’re asking yourself how to switch on the torch without the switch at the end? With the Kit comes a solid foot switch like you know them from sewing machines. Just put your foot on the pedal and the torch will do it’s job.

The torch is always hanging from on of my lamps on my tying desk ready for some action.

I f you like to use uv resin for your tying, then I can recommend you the Mains Adapter. It’s super nice to use, you got always maximum curing power and you don’t have to care about the batteries.

I use the Adapter now several months and I don’t want to miss it.

Caddis Pupa with tungsten head – step by step

Veröffentlicht am 21/08/2014 von Holger Lachmann

This is a good all around nymph to imitate caddis pupa. The vague looking nymph seems eatable to the fish. It’s a nice combination of a semi-transparent body and the mix of cdc, soft fibres and the dubbing mix of natural hare’s ear and ice dub. Not to flashy. Just that kind of nymph I personally like to fish.

The tying steps are self-explanatory, I guess. So here are just the materials.

If you got questions, just feel free to ask.

Hook: Tiemco 2488 #12
Weight: Tungsten bead
Body: greenish-yellow strands of a present bag, Polish Quill olive, Bug Bond Lite
Wing: CDC Puff from Troutline
Legs: Fibres of a Hen Hackle
Thorax: Dubbing Mix Hare’s Ear and Ice Dub, secured with Bug Bond Lite

Sedge Pupa Step By Step Tutorial

Veröffentlicht am 23/02/2014 von Holger Lachmann

I posted this pattern some weeks ago on my blog and on Facebook and I was asked, if I could do a step by step tutorial about it. So, here it is. I hope you like it as much as I do.

Materials:

Hook: Maruto C47 BL # 12
Weight: Tungsten Bead Black Nickel
Thread: Dyneema
Body: Thread-Underbody, olive marker pen, Flashabou, Polish Quills green
Resin: Bug Bond Lite
Dubbing: SLF light olive and cinnamon
Wings: Flashabou Mirage colored with a brown marker pen
Wing Case: Pheasant
Legs: Partridge

Put the hook with the tungsten bead in the vise.

Form the unterbody with your thread and tie in the Flashabou and Polish Quill.

Color the underbody with an olive marker pen and wind the Flashabou and then the Polish Quill around the body and secure it with your tying thread.

Put some Bug Bond Lite on the body and cure the resin with your Bug Bond torch. Then, tie in some strands from a pheasant tail feather as shown.

Dub some SLF light olive on the fly and tie in the brown colored Flashabou Mirage. Cut the Mirage like shown on the photo.

Dub the rest with SLF in cinnamon till you reach the tungsten bead.

Cut a „V“ out of a partridge feather and tie in the fibres of the partridge as legs. Then fold the pheasant strands to the front to create the wing case and catch it with your tying thread. Put a drop of Bug Bond Lite on the wing case incl. the thread with which you catch the pheasant. Cure the Bug Bond Lite with your Bug Bond torch and cut the thread. You’re done! The Bug Bond Lite makes it super strong! You don’t need to do whip finish!
