Not well up on the fly Mike, but that's a cracking photo, just IMO, of course.

Thanks Steven, perhaps Rob can tell the story of the fly..... or not. I might just get my **** kicked but it's worth it. First attempt at booby eyes BTW.

Nice job Heron! If you were trying to copy the one I'm thinking of, then you're miles out! Having said that, yours is a belter... I'll have that

What story?

Nice tie Mike.

Does it involve inappropriate fingering of abramis brama?

Right again Rob, nothing like it. Here's yours. I am not worthy.

Here it is in action, the fly, that is.

I can remember motoring past the Blagdon guide and his clients, before lunch, and admitting to having had 18 to the boat, mostly on this little ******. 14-9 to you that day as I recall.

No petrol was involved in catching these fish.

And how many had the 'guide' (who wouldn't tell us where the fish were) and his clients had?
