A couple of the boys have been tying a fly which is a bit like a bendback pattern with a keel of ball sinkers.....from what I can find out, it is a fly created by
Gavin Davis of the
Flyjunkies and it has been working really well with the barra. The boys have tied a bit smaller version and the barra have been taking them when the ever reliable clouser has been ignored. Though on another day, who knows. Going to tie up a few variations to try over the next few months.
Looks like a great dredging fly too for the deep water????
This is one of a 'Son of Cowan' flies that works on the barra......
