When you see a large 'bow-wave' and dozens of pin fry jumping out of the water, these are tell-tale signs that fish are chasing fry. To get involved in the action, it's worth having a few fry imitations in your fly box and a really effective pattern to use is a Hare's Body Dial Bach. It not only imitates fry exceptionally well, but also Buzzers and Corixa. It's a pattern worth learning to tie, and Davie McPhail shows you how.
All of the materials needed to tie this fly are available from Glasgow Angling Centre as listed below, but as always, if you need any help finding materials or substitutes then we'll be happy to help. But now it's time to learn from Davie McPhail. Time to learn how to tie the Hare's Body Diawl Bach.
