Silver Stoats Tail

[jj1]

But thats only if you have a box of flies you dont have faith in! Without experimenting withfly tying, common patterns today such as bloody butcher, the snake, surface lures and the humble silver stoats would not be in existence! All i can suggest is to take the flies out of your boxes that dont look right and then you will be left with fewer to choose between and those that are left you will have more confidence in

Hi Dalesman, do you not use stoat's tail dressed on size 6, 01 Wilson single hooks, they are fantastic for clear night waters.

I have also had success on 25/30 mm needle tubes dressed as stoat's tail flies.

I'm getting ready for mid - May, and the above flies will be at the top of my list, with the addition of silver stoat's tail flies.

Regards, HH.
