Glo Red Shadow
|
Self-illuminating |
|
This type of fly is not
considered decent by all but somewhat something
of a cheat.
Personally I don’t think there is much
difference between tying in a self-illuminating
material and tying in flash, UV reflective body
dubbing and God knows everything used today.

Comment |
A very simple fly that fishes
well. Tie in UNI-Glo like ordinary flat tinsel.
Tie in the hackle and cut the top slightly. Tie
in a rather thin bundle of fox hair pointing
forward and spread the hair over a bit more than
a third of the tube. Fold backwards and spread
the hair so that a nice, wide delta wing is
formed. Attach the cone and your fly is complete.
The UNI-Glo tinsel is charged
with a lamp before you start fishing the fly.
