Friday Night Flies – Sussex Wet fly
Friday Night Flies – Sussex Wet fly
The Sussex chicken is covered with golden brown feathers varying in size and shape. Last week we tied a nymph pattern with a larger feather. There is always a need for a more supple presentation, while fly fishing shoals and weed beds. This pattern will work great fished in shallows with a short slow stripping retrieve. You could also fly fish it as an emerging pattern to represent emerging mayflies and or mosquitoes. Enjoy the video.
