Tie in silver wire at the point where the tail is tied in. Tie in lime  green chenille above the wire at this point. Take the thread up the shank to  behind the silver bead eyes and wind the chenille up the hook shank in tight  touching turns to be tied off behind the eyes with the thread. Follow with the  wire using open turns winding the opposite way to the way the chenille was  wrapped.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-72\" title=\"cat3\" src=\"https:\/\/www.troutflies.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/upLoads\/2009\/07\/cat3.jpg\" alt=\"cat3\" width=\"196\" height=\"138\" \/><\/p>\n<p>4.

Ensure all the materials are securely tied in behind the eyes and bring  the thread in front of the eyes, form a head, tie off and varnish the head.<\/p>\n<p>This fly can be used all year round but excels in late autumn when the trout  become active on fry.<\/p>\n<p>It is a sinking pattern, so can be fished at any depth on either floating,  intermediate or sinking line using the countdown method with all fly line  densities.<\/p>\n<p>The Cats Whisker is very attractive to fish because the materials have plenty  of movement and the best retrieves are long erratic pulls giving darting  movements to the fly. This can be varied by adding pauses in the retrieve  followed by very quick short jerky pulls before reverting to the longer  retrieve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE CATS WHISKER Materials required: Long Shank Lure hooks size 10-6 Black Tying Thread Lime Green Chenille Silver Wire Pair of Silver Bead Chain Eyes White Marabou Tying: 1.
