This is the perfect wool for the killer bug classic Grayling pattern from nymph expert and legendary river keeper Frank Sawyer. This fly pattern still doesn’t disappoint, but if you follow Sawyer’s tying instruction, the killer or (grayling) bug as it was originally named, could and should only be tied with one brand and shade of wool, Chadwick’s No 477. At Semperfli we have a card of the original Chadwicks 477 which we used a blend of wools to match dry and particularly wet with our substitute as we developed it. Now this is one of the most accurate Chadwicks 477 substitutes available. Remember the Killer bug pattern that may be one of the most simple flies ever tied, tie it with Semperfli Chadwicks 477 Substitute!
We used this many years ago and had great success with the original wool from Oliver Edwards. It had been discontinued but we kept some by for that odd very special trip. The team at Semperfli decided to get more to match exactly the original material from Oliver and we do not beleive you will get any closer match to the original Rhyacophila wool.
Peeping Caddis Body Wool is the perfect wool for your peeping caddis. A quick and easy body material that is so simple to use. Another great reliable material for you. Singe the end with a flame and tie on to the hook leaving the singed end as the head of the caddis peeping out.
Perfect Shrimp Wool does what it says on the tin! Couldn’t be easier! This has been designed to match shrimp patterns with a mottled pink perfect for shrimps.
