Daiwl Coch (Red Devil)

This video demonstrates a fly pattern called the Daiwl Coch (Red Devil) that I developed in 2023 using the Red Tag, Bibio and the Zulu for inspiration, originally to catch Grayling. Since reading my new book "The Fly Tying Bible" by Peter Gathercole, I realised how similar it was to a pattern called the Soldier Palmer, so technically, I cannot take all of the credit and therefore call it a Soldier Palmer variant. It has an overall Red colouration which is a classic combination for Grayling. I do make a mistake in the video, but have chosen to leave it in as one take, just to prove that even proficient fly tyers do not get it perfect everytime and so may encourage beginners. Fly Fishing and Fly Tying is a hobby of patience and I hopefully have demonstrated that and also how to rectify a mistake if you do make one. The fly can be tied using a bead or without. With a bead it is obviously fished as a wet fly, however without any weight it can be fished dry or wet. I had immediate success with it catching several Grayling and Brown Trout on its first outing as an unweighted version. The weighted version came later in its development. I have chosen to provide the weighted version as that is the exact pattern I caught my personal best Wild Brown Trout of 3.1lb and 21 inches in length, caught on Thursday 27th March 2025 which is pictured at the end of the video. The video may court controversy, especially involving Grayling during the Coarse Fishing Close Season, however Rivers can still be fished with Fly, Spinning or Ledgered Worm during the period March 14th to June 16th. If you do catch a Grayling during this period it should be returned as quickly as possible with minimal handling. Also, I generally fish for keeps when Game Fishing and I keep the barbs on my flies for this purpose. I only take what I need, normally just one fish. 99% of the time, I don't catch one big enough anyway and the vast majority of the fish I eat come from stocked fisheries. The Brown Trout pictured was caught on light tackle, 5lb tippet, a Size 12 2.8mm Beaded Daiwl Coch Fly and a 4/5 weight Rod. I have lost several fish in the same size region since the age of 15 and so I felt I deserved this one. That aside, I hope the pattern also brings you all great success whether you prefer catch and release or not.
