Another cracking video, interesting to see your version of a classic fly, The willie Gunn was invented by a pro fly tier called Erick "Dusty" Miller and was named after the dog of the Ghillie who commissioned the fly. I had the pleasure to fish with Dusty on many occasions on the river Findhorn and when asked what was the correct way to tie a Willie Gunn would reply if it catches fish you got it right.

It's always interesting to read about the histories of flies as some have quite the story behind them. :)
Nice job Peter. Going to give that one a go for sure!
Dan, in our area, this thing is a close as it gets to a guarantee. If the fish are there, they'll hit it. :)
Should get a video of it swimming(when the river is about 10ft lower).
This is going to be the first tube fly that I tie! Thanks Peter!
It's a great fish catcher - enjoy!
Well not like that! Dreadfull !!!!!
Cool man.
