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
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 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 🙂
