A Few Bourach's

[scanny]

I was planning on a Spey trip this week but with the river up over 5' and more snow melt to come it seems its a wash of.

You could tell i was excited as i actually tied a few flies- im not a Tying tart so its defiantly a needs must situation to get me on a vice A Friend said he would fish a Bourach so armed with one tied up for me on a size 4 double, i set about a few tubes.

They should do the trick nicely, the fluffy buggers swim rather well, although i didn't get any takers on one today. With the name meaning mess i found the scruffiest looking bucktail i could.

I even got the fluffy ones to swim upright

The colours should work well enough for that elusive springer hopefully.

A bonny flea bud. I fancy them for my summer grilse box with both the orange and yellow wing.

you beat me to that Ross, blue tail, blue throat, yellow wing and silver body, great flee in clear water, the orange one is a better flee when the river is carrying a bit of colour. Nice flee's tho Steve

I missed these somehow Steve it might be the scruffiest bucktail you had but the top one looks the pick of the bunch to me.
