Billy Scott kindly sent me a photo of this pattern after watching the Ke-He video. It looks fantastic and he was kind enough to give me permission to do this tutorial. I have yet to get the opportunity to fish with the pattern but I am confident it will do a job!
I do like a good mash up of flies, taking the best from proven killers and coming up with something slightly different. If you have any ideas for a fly mash up let me know in the comments section below and I will try and give it a go.

Confidence with any pattern presented in the right way in the correct part of the water column is key. Right on the nose of a feeding fish with what could be the wrong fly will always be preferable to the right fly presented twenty plus feet underneath a fish fish sipping emerging surface insects. Welsh devils can represent multiple food options and for me I find them useful. Are they any better than a same sized ptn or hares ear. Probably not. The venue, conditions, time of day stage of the season. All are the things that add to the enjoyment and frustration factors when the trout show us they obey their rules not ours

Thanks for sharing my wee fly mate, you have it spot on it mirrors my own one , the thread should not be a problem as when I tied mine i left the head the same, it smashed fish in Wales when I was there its also took its fair share of fish here in Scotland too and I hope you do well with it down in Rutland and beyond!! Great video and all the best Lindsay 👍 Billy .....
