Information about Bumbles flies
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. The palmered hackles mimic insect legs movement on the surface film.

I use my Claret Dibbler as a bushy bob fly on the top dropper for loch-style shortlining. It tends to pull far more browns than rainbows, especially as you dibble it across the surface, creating a wake up to the boat.- Robbie

Rod Tye works within the traditions and lore’s of Irish fly design dating back to the early 19c.
Whilst many of the flies are original in some sense, they would not claim to be "inventions" in the strictest sense of that term, but rather the combination of the accumulated experience of others and himself, across time. The flies are made according to how they perform, and in many ways, they make themselves.

Great store is made of the principles of blending colours of body fur and hackle to produce a broken, muted fly that provides a soft overall effect. Single colours and hard outlines are used but rarely. Generally the flies are constructed from purely natural, high quality materials,although these are sometimes blended with modern reflective materials where this adds to the attractive potential of the fly.
