CFFC 10TH WINTER FLY SWAP


Cove's PT

Tied by Mike Willis

Materials
Hook:
Type:  Down Eyed Short Shank
Manufacturer:  Tiemco TMC 102Y
Size:  #17
Thread
Brown
Body:
Cock-Pheasant tail fibres
Thorax:
Rabbit under-fur mixed with a few guard hairs
(I used Musk Rat - see notes below)
Rib:
Copper wire, or silver and gold
(I have used fine copper wire)

Tier's Comments:     -    Musk Rat is pretty buoyant so this fly either sinks slowly or stays just beneath the surface, depending on how much of a thorax it has. I have used this variant successfully on both the river Creedy and the river Taw. On both occasions there was little evidence of surface feeding and not much showing down deep.
