New Product Crystal Minnow hair now in stock!

https://www.silverscalesflytying.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_0586-1.jpg
Here at Silver scales we're always on the lookout for new products to bring into our range. We recently came across such a material that really caught our eye.

Crystal Minnow hair is a very unusual product and as far as we know exclusive to us here in the UK. Consisting of a unique blend of microfibers and a clear tinsel flash, this is a very eye catching fibre. The clear tinsel gives the appearance of many tiny Crystal like glints throughout, hence the name. We feel that this fibre is more suited to smaller baitfish patterns if you want to use it as the sole fibre, and it should make great Surf candies and Saltwater patterns, however there is no reason you can't add small amounts to larger Pike and Predator flies to add to the overall attraction, especially if you don't want too much flash in the fly and would prefer a more subtle sparkle. Overall we think this a beautiful looking material and with a little imagination some great looking and highly attractive patterns can be created from this Hair. 10 great colours to start with, many of which are Hot 'UV', and we all know how effective UV materials can be in Predator flies!

Check it out in the shop : https://www.silverscalesflytying.co.uk/product/crystal-minnow-hair/

More great products coming soon!

Louis finds success in the Black forest!

Silver Scales regular Customer Louis Chancellor recently found some opportunist success using our Vibro shads and a few bits of end tackle from our range.


Louis told me:

'I was hiking with my girlfriend in the German Black Forest, so no serious sessions, just 10-15 minutes here and there in forest lakes and streams etc. Only a little UL travel rod and pocket tackle box, but I usually got a bite in the first few casts. Jack pike, perch, trout and chub. Great fun on a little rod though!'
'I was using a Silver scales vibro shad in green pumpkin, on a Silver scales #6 weedless worm hook, 3.5g SS texas weight, SS 8lb braid mainline and 8lb seaguar leader...'



Sounds like you had a great time Louis and a very good example of some really enjoyable opportunist angling! well done!


If you would like to send us a catch report like Louis then please email us at fishonflies@outlook.com and we'll post it up for you.
