Cherry picking

[midlander]

Here's something I came up with after musing at work, took the tail idea from PCs recent flies, the jointed body from the recent Watson thread, the legs from Brownsville's hoppers and the over all scheme from Col's latest creations. Thanks lads.

Sadly though, the end result isn't something new, more a Gorgeous George variant. Still, Orkney daphnia is preoccupying the old coconut at the mo.

Nice work Alex, I like that a lot! Think I'll have a bash at one of those this weekend. Thanks!

I admit the fly certainly is gorgeous, but more like "Gorgeous Gertie" Looks a little too busy to my eye

The front one looks like 'discharge' pink

[midlander]

Ooof, gawd, NUUURSE!

Think Dez and Clive.

I can sleep soundly, knowing I've been credited for lopsided legs. Cheers Alex.

I can see the fish queuing up for that one Alex, especially on Chew.
