Thanks John.

Chartroosh naw it’s Fluor bright green lol. Use of good peacock herl body adds a major improvement to the classic. The traditional Viva is all black wool body, with green, yellow or occasionally orange tag. If you want to keep it in the spirit of the Viva car that inspired the fly. If knocking some up for Jock Kettles to use in the next Kit Kat Cup. Use hooks that have the body of the hook rusted almost completely to the point of crumbling lol.

Nice fly well tied as usual. Is that new jaws you have on your Talon vice.

Hi Scot, yes its the new ones, Kevin at FNF kindly sent me a set. Nothing wrong with the old ones to be fair.

Great video Lindsay. Thanks for that. Can you give me any advice on how to stop boobies from twisting my leader and fly line. Maybe even include a solution to my problem in a future video.

Getting the eyes nice and even is the best way. You will always get some twisting though.
