Disappointing Hans, very disappointing, not the fly, that's a beauty. No explanation of the name though!

Hans, how and where do you fish that, and representing what?
Thanks

Clyde style wet - and Cora Linn the name of a waterfall on this river. The name appealed to me.

Clyde style wet, Byron. Clyde style wets are generally fished in or just under the film, dead drift.Quote:

No Hans I hadn't made the connection. I don't know the Clyde as well as I should. Its a long way south of here.

Hans,
Do you fish this style much? In the US? In a hatch situation as a cripple?

Hans,
I fish soft hackles a great deal, but they arent that style
uusually wingless with just partridge collar. More in the Syl Nemes patterns.
