Bosnian Mayflies - Stunning flies which are too nice to cast!
These stunning flies - hot off the vice of 'our man in Bosnia' are absolute stunners and will catch fish whenever Mayflies are in the air.
Tied to give a general impression of hatching and adult Mayflies, they are best used on a thicker and shorter leader. As these flies tend to spin when they are cast, using a shorter leader allows for less line twist and a better presentation.
These Mayfly imitations are all tied on either Ahrex or TMC barbless size 10 hooks.
Our Bosnian Mayfly Selection contains four different patterns:
Detached Body Mayfly - A classic mayfly imitation, super buoyant and tied to exacting standards. A classic detached-body Mayfly imitation. These flies are ultra-realistic when tied on a size 10 curved Ahrex FW541 barbless hook. They really are too nice to cast. One of the most effective Mayfly imitations when spinners are on the water. Target slow, deep and silty water; this is where the female will lay her eggs.
Cream Biot Mayfly - On this fly Kenan has mixed traditional and modern tying,materials. This Mayfly combines the traditional TMC 100BL size 10 hook, Veevus GSP thread (30D) in white, with Coq de Leon tails and Wapsi turkey biot in white (coloured with a cream marker). This gives a perfect segmentation on the body. All topped off with CdC wings (using the best quality CdC from David Jedlicka) and Pro-Grade grizzly rooster hackle for the legs.
Upside Down Mayfly - This fly is a little left-field! The initial intent was to completely remove the hook from under the water. Tied on an upside-down Ahrex FW541 curved hook in a size 10, with Coq de Leon tails using cream Veevus thread and Antron yarn as a ribbing. Why curved hook you ask? - If it is tied on a straight hook the tails will be in the same plane as the body (i.e. the complete body would be on the surface and it would look unnatural), so when this fly is on the surface the only thing fish will see is the silhouette of a Mayfly, a small portion of the legs and wings. The wings are tied from David Jedlicka naturally sellected CdC and measures 2.5cm in length. The legs are Pro Grade Metz Rooster feathers.
White Biot Mayfly - On this fly Kenan has mixed traditional and modern tying materials. This Mayfly combines the traditional TMC 100BL size 10 hook, Veevus GSP thread (30D) in white, with Coq de Leon tails and Wapsi turkey biot in white. This gives a perfect segmentation on the body, especially when secured with Zapagap glue, rather than the traditional method of wire. All of this is topped off with CdC wings (using the best quality CdC from David Jedlicka) and a Pro-Grade grizzly rooster hackle for the legs.
