Hi guys,
We have a nice Fly Tying Riddle for you 🙂
Bellow is a gammarus fly tied for Poland and Slovak rivers. This fly works for big trout, grayling and barbles. The fly  was tied with the legs made of a special natural material.
If somebody guess what material was used, will receive a very nice award from Trout Line Company:

  • a bag of with that secret material,
  • a Gammarus foil from Pro Sportfisher,
  • a bottle of Troutline UV Resin,
  • a bag of Maruto C46 WBL hooks
  • 3bags with our special dubbing used for shrimps and gammarus flies

troutline gammarus 2

troutline gammarus

The guessing rules:

  • one guess for each guy/girl
  • the first correct one will win the award.

good luck guys 🙂

PS: If you know hot this fly is tied here is a short article with a step by step: Tying a gammarus nymph . The materials are not exactly the same but most important is the technique 🙂

      Hi Jocelyn, thanks for the post.it is about legs not body. This fly don’t contain any CDC. But a special feather is used for legs 🙂

      Hi Mikolaj, thanks for trying but not. Is not peacock quill. These legs are made of barbs. Just check the structure and shape, is conical and thin, one solid color. cheers 🙂

        Hmmm. Looks pretty much like stripped quill to me. Maybe from an Ostrich or Pheasant tail?
