A fly pattern which has featured in recent podcasts,
videos, blogs, magazines and forums has been the Jingler.
Its all the rage. Apparently its a very old Scottish
pattern which has been fished on Scottish lowland rivers for many a year with
great success. The sudden rise in its popularity is probably down to social
media etc as opposed to the good old fashioned method of by word of mouth.
Regional flies and methods have stayed local for
years but with ever increasing technology there will come a time when there
will be no such thing as regional fly patterns as they will eventually be known
nationwide or even worldwide.
Anyway I digress its an extremely effective pattern
especially on rivers however I believe it will be a fantastic pattern to use on
the loch too especially when the surface is calm and and trout are on the feed.
I've no idea if these patterns that i've tied are
acceptable as Jinglers , as you know how pernickeity some folk can be but they
will do for me.
