The large grayling that live in the heavy fished rivers are often formidable adversaries because of their astuteness and selectivity. Such fish, during the evening hatch of dipteral or small ephemeral, go to take place along those river stretches where the current carries the greatest amount of pasture and start to rise systematically, paying exasperated attention in the analysis of the single preys. The "blank", in similar circumstances, is at the order of the day, over all because this frenetic activity can last little more than an hour and the fisherman, in this short lapse of time, has to find the most attractive artificial of his box and then to present it correctly to the fish.
A solution to the problem can be to tie to the leader a small Moscerino Fiammeggiante, the characteristic of which is to have an aspect relatively defined and to appear vaguely similar to an insect. These qualities can contribute to generate a condition of doubt to the fish, inducing it to give quickly bite the fly just to check if it is an edible meal. The result is that we have the fleeting chance to hook a really big and a little confused grayling.

INSTRUCTIONS
I start to prepare the fly by fixing the hook on the vice jay and tying on the fiery brown thread. I do not cut off the thread surplus, because I will use it successively for the ribbing
I wax now a short stretch of the thread and I distribute on it a pinch of fiery brown polypropylene, forming, with the fingers of a hand, a compact dubbing, which I wrap around the four rear fifth of the hook shank, in order to create the fly body
|
By binding in wide passages around the body the piece of thread which is on the hook bend I make the ribbing
|
From both the sides of a pair of natural grey cul de canard feathers, I strip off some small tufts of the longest fibres
I tie in the cul de canard fibres around the front fifth of the hook shank, in order to form the collar, taking care that the tips of the fibres are protracted a little beyond the hook bend
Next I cut off the surplus of the cul de canard fibres and I create the fly head with some turns of the thread, which is then finished with a whip-finish and with a small drop of clear varnish
|
|
With a pair of well sharp scissors, I execute a net cut along the posterior portion of the collar, reducing the cul de canard fibres to a length a little superior than the hook shank, completing in this way the building process of the Moscerino Fiammeggiante
