Very nice, like that a lot.
Huge sedge hatches on my club loch last year and hoping for the same this. Been looking for an emerging sedge type pattern and this looks the ticket. With a wee change of colours here and there to march each hatch, i think you are on to a winner

p.s. have you spilt some petrol????

It's a poor copy of one of Arkle's patterns, should be shorter in the tag and longer in the body, and different colours. And a different hook.

No petrol was spilt during the process though.

It's the lid of my laptop, chrome finish, with the protective transparent plastic still on.

Works quite well I think. Will have another play tonight to lose the horizon.
