App. #12

Simple but very well tied little midge style buzzer with a thread body and a dubbed thorax. Most likely tied by Paul Slaney and given to me when I visited Wales in 2004.

Welsh, mate!

A week of fishing in Wales and southern England: reservoir, lake, stream - chalkstream! GFF partner Martin Joergensen has been visiting Welsh Paul Slaney for a week of fun and fishing and meeting other Welsh friends.

This strange popper came out of Martin Joergensen's vice recently and has already proved its value several times. See why it might be interesting to you, how to tie it (in meticulous details) as well as how it moves - and in video too! And learn why it's called Burning Man.
