Fly Tying - How to tie the 'Unsinkable' Sedge #16 for Fly Fishing for Trout

Hi Lindsay, really like that wee sedge pattern, will be giving this a place in my dry fly box, much appreciated. Regards Jimf

Can't count the number of times I keep coming back to your vids, love the channel, if yee ever fancy a wee guest session on Cobbinshaw just let me know😁

Thanks, Lindsay!

That’s a good looking fly.

Thanks for the great tie Lindsay , you just know when you see a fishy pattern that it’s going to put plenty in the net !

Thank you Lindsay for sharing this great looking pattern. Cheers

So much for your holiday eh? Nice tutorial thanks Lindsay. Stay safe, big Davie.

I really like this pattern it looks good and I bet it floats great . I do a similar fly but for the underwing just use the snow shoe rabbit once I have a bunch I treat them all with fly Agra and let them sit overnight. Float like cork . Alway a pleasure seeing your ties . Thanks for sharing

A braw wee beastie Lindsay. Thanks for the tips. 🎣👏👍

Love it Lindsay!!

thanks for the tie Lindsay.

Lindsay just to put a bug in your ear about Rabbit's foot, have you tried patterns called "The Usual," and "The Haystack?" Both by Fran Bettors, but the only reason I bring it up is because you have Rabbits foot available. This pattern you are building is a great floater! Well tied and I agree I don't think you could sink it without a lot of effort!

What a great looking pattern Lindsey. That is a beauty thanks for sharing my friend!!

great looking pattern. I didn't quite catch what it was that you added at the end as a floatent.

A great wee fly. Worth adding some to the Stillwater box in case the sedge are on the smaller size. Worse case if never used in sixty years time they could be mini retirers. Lol

I like the pattern but, I used the amount fo deer hair you suggested and found it to be tooooooo much .So I cut it in half and worked out just fine . In stead of a cent. I used 1/2 that.

Unsinkable indeed. Well, perhaps adding little foam outriggers might make it more so? ;-) Snowshoe rabbit is wonderful material. I initially learned to tie from books & pictures of flies in catalogs. Everything looked neat & tidy. When I first tried to tie a fly called “The Usual” using snowshoe rabbit, I was appalled by how unruly & disorganized it looked. It took a while to learn that was an advantage. This fly is like a more refined cousin of The Usual with elk hair invited to the party. Definitely a keeper.

Like it. Will knock some up. Thanks

The silicon is a good idea

Nice fly👍
