what Flies Will work in the swan

[leebo]

CAn anyone tell me what flies will work in the swan? and what colours.

[Bream Addict]

mate ive never fished the swan , but i would say get urself a dogtooth jelly belly, i use them on my spin outfit and the caught me some nice fish, imagine wat u could do if u had an actual fly rod:D

[leebo]

were can I get one of them at.

Tie the DT jelly bellys yourself.

Hook: #4-6 Mustad
Eyes: dumbell type (spiritReal eyes are good)
Head: Crystal Chenille.
Jig keeper: a piece of old guitar string, one end bent back at 45 degrees

Tie the dumbell eyes on the hook, slip the piece of guitar string wire under dembell eyes, tie in then cover all thread with "head cement", over wrap the eyes with crystal chenille tie off behind hook eye, whip finish and varnish.

Then get an atomic grub or similar thread onto hook "keeper should slide into body and keep S/P secure on the hook.


Personally I would go for a BMS or BMS hammerhead when targetting bream, rather than the jelly belly, but both style of fly/lure are effective.


Good luck, it's good to see some people do more than just spin fish on this site, don't get me wrong I do both but prefer the fly, much more challenging...
