Golden Olive Bumble Wet Fly
Fishing Tips
It is suggested that the Bumbles' origins date back to Derbyshire in the 1500's when the fly was attached to a horsehair line. The fly when first alighting on the water was fished as a dapping fly, which slowly sank and fished as a wet hackle fly. It is very successful and has therefore has survived in fly boxes for more than 500 years. The palmered hackles mimic insect legs movement on the surface film.

This fly is of Irish Origin. The tying presented originated from Kingsmill Moore. In english books and tying references pre-dating Kingsmill there was a different style of pattern given for the Bumble (herl bodies with single mono-tone palmered hackle).

Thanks Dave,<br /><br />As you will have gathered, I am a fan of Mr Kingsmill. I also spend a lot of time researching the origins of patterns. The original English Bumble is a lovely looking fly, but sadly not fished much anymore.
