DUCK FLY BUMBLE

The duck hunting season comes to an end in January but there is another duck season around the corner and these creatures don't go quack. 

The duck fly hatches is one of the first decent feeding frenzies for brown trout on our Loughs. Imitating theses fly's has many forms from buzzers, emergers, slim and small wet fly's to bushy bumbles among many other variations. Personally I like this time of the year and enjoy heading out on the spring waves in search of some good feeding trout in the duck holes of the mid-land lakes. 

Over the next few weeks ill be tying many different dressings to lure the trout this coming spring, some new developments and some old and tested fly's. This Bumble is one of my favorite top dropper fly's and great on the bob just before you lift off the water.
