Wasn't sure which section to post these in

Here are a couple of bombers I tied a few weeks back.

Seems to be the 2 most succesfull colours. bright green and hot orange.





I'm desperate to get a fish on one of these fished dead drift

I had an idiot fishing with me back in the early 90's who got a fish on one dead drifted

Nice flee's by the way Dave, the green machine is one of the top bombers so i'm told.

I'm idiot enough to give them a try

Try them for the rainbows Dave 8-)Richard Walker invented these things in the 70's,he called them Hedgehogs and did very well on stillwaters on account of the fact that they look just like a trout pellet
Could imagine a sea troot taking a fancy to them on a warm summer night,jeezus,seems a long way off the noow

That's one tactic we didn't try last week on the Nith,

Henrick seduces you into trying them.

Pool wise what's the ideal situation. A deep pool with holding fish, clear water and glass flat? The trap

Remember it well John,I'll probably have the article in an ancient T&S in me loft
I always thought Dick Walker was one of the great English angling writers,he called a spade a spade and showed people how to catch fish.Topper!

I tried one in September on a flat glide, I've always wanted to get a fish on a dead drift bomber, second cast up he came took it on for a few seconds then off, don't know who got the biggest fright me or the fish! It was a big brown bomber, conditions have to be perfect with fish in shallowish water I reckon, according to my yank rods the plop when it hits the water gets the fishes attention, they use it all the time over there but funnily enough they never use it on Tweed!
