- A brilliant little Diawl Bach variation that makes the fly more robust and less prone to damage from the Trout's teeth . Super quick and easy to tie . A must have for UK still waters and Reservoirs .

Nothing wrong with a quickie, lol. Great tie, thanks for the instruction.
Glad you enjoyed it . Cracking little pattern this one !
Hi Tim, totally agree about Talon hooks, I have lost far fewer since using these with the claw point. Also the silver bags they come in make a great ribbing when cut into strips. Keep up the good work Tim, I really appreciate the effort you put in to your videos.
Cracking fly Tim
Thanks mate , little killer this one
Quality Tim 👍 perfect timing as I am head to Graham next week for a few days.
They really are THE dropper fly at the moment mate
Excellent Tom I will certainly give them a go 👍🏻
Superb Tim . Looks the dogs danglies 👍
Works a treat and dead easy to tie ..
Brilliant again Tim 👏
Cheers 😁
Superb hooks mate . Thankyou .
Nice one . Will give that a go over the weekend . You make that look so simple that I reckon I might manage that
Its the simple flies that catch the fish mate
Tim 🤣🤣
Nice one I will try that up here in Renfrewshire. Thanks
Good video tim m8 thanks for the mention 😎 glad its doing the job for u lol i see u tweaked it a little bit it looks even more deadly now il send this video over to my old man to make some pronto 😂👌🎣
Welcome mate and cheers for putting me onto them
@@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769 im just glad ive managed to give u something back after the things ive learned from u and ur videos m8 thats made my day lol👌😎
Hi Tim nice simple pattern got all the materials so knocking a few up for tomorrow, heading to Grafham in September with my club any tips for this time of year would be much appreciated cheers and tight lines.
Dries in the open wate rlike big reds and fiery brown hoppers will be high on the menu in Sept . Also if we get the weed growth then popper fry patterns around the edges for the fry feeders . The fish will be finding the first of the shrimp so hares ears and shrimp patterns .. Superbmonth to be out on the lake .
Great video Tim. Have you given one a go with open turns to exaggerate the rib more?
I have but I dont think it adds anything to the pattern tbh , the fish dont inspect the flies that closely . The more open the wraps the more likely to catch on the fishes teeth , and this pattern is meant to be hard wearing . Thanks for watching .
Nice✌
👍
Interesting fly. I’ve tied a dozen in 12s and 14. Thank you. Got me to wondering what defines a diawl bach? I always reckoned the body should be peacock herl, but I’m persuadable that the shape of the fly is crucial to the name. Similarly I always think that for a fly to be cruncher it should have a pt body - then some have quill bodies? Maybe, again, the shape is more important? Any thoughts? This fly, for me, is a black flexifloss nymph - and I’m looking forward to giving it a swim and just hanging on! 😂
I think the tail and throat gives the Diawl its profile , just like the sparse hackle on the head of a cruncher . Its shape and form rather than specific materials with flies like these .Materials on flies like this are meant to be played with and developed I think as long as you retain the spirit of the pattern then its ok . I certainly know this has been a proper killer on the reservoirs this season so far for me . Thanks for watching as always .
Tim what patterns do u use when they r on pin fry at gratham?
They haven't been on them the last few years so will be interesting to see this year . The daphnia and midge feeders often get mistaken for pin fry feeders . Rather than try to imitate I usually try and knock the fish off balance by casting a big dry fly like a yellow owl or hares ear sugar cube or popping a blob booby with a couple of pearly pheasant tails past their noses . With an abundant food source like pins you are much better off trying to distract the fish than imitate its dinner ...
Thanks for the info much appreciated 👍
