Nice pattern Martyn! I like the simplicity of this tie. I rarely get to the salt, but I'd like to try and pair the fish mask up with a B10S and tie something up using an SF blend I could toss to smallmouth once the rivers get back in shape. I'm thinking maybe something that resembles an oikawa, dace or chub as I've often watched the bass chase those species down.

cheers Charles, it will work on a load of sizes and hook patterns. I'm pretty sure it will work for smallies

That would be a Great fly on a 2/0 for Tarpon in Florida. Thank You

Where can I purchase those eyes that tie on to the shank of the hook please....great idea!!

[@FlickingFeathers]

Josef Csortan the heads? They're flymen fish masks. I think you can buy direct from flymen fishing company if your local shop doesn't stock them

What line set-up would you use to fish @1-2' down in rivers please Martin?

[@FlickingFeathers]

Depending on flow you'll want to adjust the line density. Interchangeable sink tips are a good option for covering different depths
