A few years ago a friend of mine, tied a bunch of these with one difference. Instead of white Ostrich, he used White UV fibre for the body.
My son was up fishing with me, so for fun I put two of them on his three fly setup! He caught two double headers! A great little pattern for sure!
Great looking fly made so easy by you. Thanks
This is an interesting pattern. Usually the legs are a definitive marker on the Corixa, but this one depends on the trapped air bubble. I appreciate this pattern and will try a few this year. Thanks so much David, hope you are feeling better.
Lovely looking fly Davie. As usual, very well tied and explained. Many thanks.
Interesting pattern thx for sharing Davie
Dave you sure know how o keep a fellow busy. Your flies and fly tying are such an inspiration. Thanks for sharing your techniques. Larry
Davie the best fly tyer I have ever seen!Great stuff from Ireland!
As always you make fly tying look so easy. I hope to see another great video from you soon. Thanks.
Nice one Davie been having great success using your flies out on the river Taff. Many thanks.
If anybody is looking for a good substitute for natural white peacock herl I suggest trying white marabou. Just even out the tips and tie the marabou in by its tips, twist them so the fibers to bring them together. and build the body the same way as shown in the video. You may need to experiment with the amount of marabou, but by using mostly the tip section gives you a similar neat look as shown by Davie and arguably the marabou herl gives a nice extra movement when pulling the fly, if that's something you are looking for. Cheers!
excellent as always mate, will be tying a few up for the box
many thanks
Thanks, Davie... I'll have to get more focused in my hunting... shoot at the ones with the different colored tails... =]
Mike
Thanks Davie.
Mike
Perfect, Davie..
thank you davie
I did enjoy it, Davie... thank you.
I've watched this one a few times, moved my laptop screen around to change the color intensity, and it looks to me like the pheasant tail is a different color than the ones I take off pheasants here in Wyoming. Looks like yours are darker and less red (more brown-red). I knew of melanistic pheasant tails (have some from CooksHill) but wasn't aware of color difference otherwise. Am I just not seeing correctly or are there differences?
Mike
Hello Davie. Great looking fly my friend. Just wondering if you can tie them in other colours? Have a great day.
Best Regards, Ken
Excellent again Davie , how would you fish that ? possibly in a team of three ,Claret Hopper on point ,maybe something like a parachute buzzer in the middle and this one on the top dropper, floating line 12 -15ft co-polymer leader greased does that sound feasible or too much,
I looked up how to ty a corixa and your was about the best out there thanks Davie
Hi Stuart,
It can fish anywhere on the cast though I like to fish it below a dry like the bubble cdc caddis around weed and close to the bank or rocks twitching it to induce a take...
All the very best Davie....
Great pattern Davie. Didn't catch what you used for the white body material was that some type of herl ?
Mike
Nice bug!
Why dou you use a white thread instead black one?
i would love to get some natural white peacock davie,anychance to let me know were i could get some,if possible,great fly
Hello Davie,
I was wondering about the width of the Krinkle Flash... is it like a medium or ???
Mike
Hi Mike,
It's more a small than medium though you can use a couple of strands to get the width if you need it...
All the very best Davie
I understand. Thank you, Davie.
Mike
were do you get your feathers from
Davies, I have used bleach to clean the stem of peacock eye to use as a body. I assume then I can't use bleach to get the color out of a peacock feather. What can be used as as substitution for white peacock?
