Bosnian Balon Pupa Selection - from Barbless Flies
Back by popular demand - we had these last year and they all sold out within 2 hours!
At this time of year, one of the most popular imitations to use on both Rivers and Stillwaters is an emerger. These are usually more productive when tied with CdC, as the way they present is exactly like the emerging insect.
There are many different variations of this style of fly, but today we have one of the very best selections available. We asked our man in Bosnia if he would come up with his interpretation of an emerger which he would use over in Bosnia (where the fish are very picky and will only take a pattern that not only looks right but is also presented properly). When I received the first samples, I was stunned and took them straight out onto a smooth stretch of water for a test - 2 casts, and 2 fish - what more can we say!
"Balon" is the Bosnian for Balloon or Bubble - i.e. the loop of CdC behind the eye of the pattern. These Bosnian Balon Pupa flies are all tied on either AHREX FW525 Superdry or Hanak H390BL size 16 barbless hooks (details below).
