The Cormorant is a popular pattern amongst competition anglers. They are very quick to tie and super effective. Each competitor will have their own favourite but this one is stand out for me. I fish it as a team and more often than not this will feature on my top dropper of a three or four fly cast.
A very versatile pattern that can be pulled or twiddled back. - Sport
Great pattern Lindsay, really enjoy watching you.
Thanks so much! 😊
Very nice fly Lindsay. Great tying and well explained. Many thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much 😊
Hi Lindsay, I like that, must give it a try, thanks again for the video. Cheers Jimf
Its a great fly pal worth having.
Braw one Lindsay thank you for sharing I look forward to your videos
Kind of you to say Tom thanks.
I really like that body!! Thanks Lindsay!!
You're so welcome!
Lindsay, thanks for the great video! I can't wait to fish this pattern on this side of 'the pond'!
Good luck, should work well.
@@lindsayiflyfish Yeah, like the Rutland! Crushed massive brookies! :-)
Great pattern, thanx for the step by step
No problem buddy.
Thanks Lindsay! I'll tie a few for the box!
Vell worth the effort pal.
very good fly thanks for sharing..👏🏼👏🏼
No worries pal.
Another belter mate . All the best 👍
Many thanks Stephen.
i need to tie some of them is the flexi floss the stretchy stuff, Thanks for sharing
No bother, yes the flexi floss is the rib.
A great looking comp fly,
Many thanks buddy.
Brilliant dressing looks really good so simple
Thanks a lot, simple is often the way. 😊
Now that looks very effective. Will tie up a few before Linlithgow on Sunday.
Let me know how you get on Len.
Lindsay Simpson Never caught anything with this fly but caught two big rainbows with the claret dabbler you showed us a few weeks ago. Now looking to tie daddies for Menteith in a fortnight.
@@lentrim5444 They on the daddies already?
Lindsay Simpson
Maybe I'm a little bit early but ready for anything!
@@lentrim5444 Best to have and not need buddy ;-)
Great pattern Lyndsay. I’ll try my hand at this one. Just a thought..... I don’t get to fishing much at all but enjoy tying and don’t do ANY competitions. I don’t get how you are restricted on tail length but you can have 4 flies in a line like mackerel fishing. Me, I’m old school. One man, one rod, one fly. Job done.....
Comp fishing is not for everyone pal as long as you are enjoying being out there, that's what's important.
It's always a pleasure watching your videos because are very interesting and instructive for improving my tying capacity. I'd like to tie some different flies for fishing trouts in my local lake. Can you tell me some videos of your fly tying to start my fly box for fishing trout in the lake?
Thank you and sorry for the long question
Thank you that's very kind. Here are a list of five flies to get you started.

These flies are a great starting point for Stillwater fishing.
Nice cormorant Lindsay. Lovin' the tapered body effect. I have all those materials so I think I'll tie up a dozen or so for my box and some spares for my friends. Ive seen a few videos online now where people use either varnish or UV resins to finish off their bodies. Can you explain what difference is between the two please? Thanks for the tips 🎣👏👍
Hi Clark, the main difference to me is drying time. The resin dries in seconds with varnish it takes much longer. Folk that use varnish say it gives you a better finish. I'm not convinced myself, though I do still use hard as nails varnish on some flies.
Mkk no n
A nice clean looking fly , thanx again, do you think it would work for sea trout, I'm headed for Alabama , n some of the best sea trout fishin , maybe in a lil brighter colors , what ya think ?
Not sure, not a traditional sea trout fly. Maybe with a pink wing. Would love to know how it goes though.
Beautil tie, Lindsay - if one isn’t fishing a comp or worried about comp rules, would longer marabou produce even better?
Does result in a lot of tail nipping with this style of fly. It’s best to keep it shortish.
Hi - really enjoying your fly tying videos, the detail and explanations are appreciated.
Curious as to which UV resin applicator you are using?
Thanks,
Duncan
Hi Duncan, the resin is Solarez Bone Dry. I love the wee brush that it comes with.
Thanks Lindsay - yes the wee brush tip is great also seems to dry very fast.
Hi Lindsay I like that fly I got no brown flexi floss but plenty of black that would not make too much of a difference do you think. Cheers Nigel
Black will work just fine pal.
nice
Thanks
@@lindsayiflyfish your welcome
Cracking fly, do you think the glo brite works better than jungle cock also do you use them in a size 12?
I do tie these with JC but don't add the hot head. I think the fish much better in #12. I just used the #8 for the video really.
Hi. I note you use a narrow brush to apply UV solution. Far better than nozzle. What make is it?
Yes, it is much easier, I use Slolarez Bone Dry.
Another nice one Lindsay!, I don't use the jungle cock either because it's too expensive and I'm just stingy.
Finally getting over for a few weeks fishing, starting in Hampshire next weekend and ending in Gairloch 5 weeks later.
That'll kill them on Menteith!!.
Keep em coming!!
ATB Chris.
Must have missed this one Chris thanks for the comment, 👍
Hi Lindsay, what uv resin do you use? I find with mine that flies go sticky in the sun
I use Solarez Bone Dry, its great stuff.
@@lindsayiflyfish thank you
@@lindsayiflyfish Hi Lindsay, nice fly. What UV torch do you use?
Lindsay? Can you use black flexi one this flie.
I use black, red and white. 👍
@lindsayiflyfish Thanks Lindsay, love your vids. Just made four with black. Two hothead orange and two hothead red.
What vice have you got please
It's a Jan Tvrdek Rotary vice they are no longer available sadly.
@@lindsayiflyfish ok thanks for that appreciated 👍
Sound like James Bond
lol, i'll take that as a compliment ;-)
