No bother John

@@Stevie_ONeill_Flyfishing Have you tried some holo over the thorax. Curly Pearson showed me that variation at Rutland years ago. I’ve taken all my big fish on that version.

This fly does not belong in the box, but definitively at the end of the leader.

[@Stevie_ONeill_Flyfishing]

Thank you

[@johnp4hc]

Stevie it took me no time to tie the fly but an hour to knot the pheasant tail fibres. Goodness that’s finicky!

[@Stevie_ONeill_Flyfishing]

I just buy the knotted pheasant tails John

@@Stevie_ONeill_Flyfishing I missed the second half of the footy as I was going absolutely mad trying to tie them!
