Are they for fly rod mate?

[Parabuteos lad 878]

Yeah they're about 2.5" long and they sell them in fly fisheries, I cut them down a bit too so the tail ends on line with bend of hook

I had a simular problem the other day when sea trout fishing,first drop in and it held on for long enough to know it weren't a bad un but off it came ,then had the same for the next few fish until i set "the garden fly" on the hook a bit differently and went on to catch a good dozen little un's and one that was big enough to come home with me.... ..Last year i blanked so dont have to much of a fit you purists ..

Fireman I could see that Snake Fly in white or even yellow being good for Sea Trout or even Bass in an estuary.

I believe it is a very good sea trout fly and what it was designed for mate, unfortunately I don't know anywhere to fish for them to try it out

Well as it goes were taking a local keeper who is a keen fly fisherman out on sunday with us and he'll be using the fly rod so if that is a "real fly" i'll let him know about it,need the water in the estuary to warm up a bit before the bigger bass move in but will keep yo informed on how we do ..
