Lovely tying, can i ask where you sourced the angel hair code AH 48

[@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769]

I have had it for some time to be honest . Definitely one of the online stores . Funky fly-tying maybe ?

Which Wychwood reel do you use for your fishing

[@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769]

The SLA mk2 is my go to cartridge reel for reservoirs , comps and any other situation where I may need to swap lines a few times in a day . If I'm just using one line all the time like a floater at Chigboro then the Flow reels are bomb proof and cheap as chips !

[@grahamwebb3546]

Wot a cracker luv that. Have you tried it out yet?

[@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769]

Yes mate ... works a treat on the reservoirs .. especially on a cloudy day

[@ShirleyVernon-pp5nw]

I have the same fly and fish it dry like a daddy it is hot

[@timjoyceflyfishing-essex6769]

Brilliant fly on the Welsh reservoirs fished dry !
