The Bredbo Fly Pattern tied bt Ron Gee of Troutlote FLy Tying Store based on the instructions from the book by Jim Findlay and Mick Hall

The Bredbo Fly Tying Video Now Available

The Bredbo fly pattern is an early Australian-designed wet fly, historically used for trout fishing on the Bredbo River in New South Wales. It is believed to have originated around 1896 and is known for its effectiveness in imitating small grasshoppers or hoppers. 

There have been many variations of The Bredbo over the years. In this week's fly tying video, we delve into the book of the same title by Jim Findlay and Mick Hall, and tie one of the many variations from within it's pages.

At the same time, Brian Smith of @tiesflies is on the other side of the world, tying another version from the book, or perhaps from the 1964 John Veniard book Further Guide To Fly Dressing.

The video can be found at the following link :
