The Grafham flies: Suspender Minkie

Wednesday, 6 December 2017 at 08:50

The Suspender Minkie (see also below) is a great fry pattern. I use them in sizes 8 and 10. As well as tying some white versions of the pattern myself I also, and unusually, ordered some from the Bay of E: the fly-dresser 'marker6688', based in the UK (in Northern Ireland I think) supplied half-a-dozen wonderfully dressed white and brown variants, and did so very speedily. These patterns can be fished static, twitched, drawn stripped or in a figure-of-eight retrieve.
