Since this was tied I have spoken to Carl Nixon(Captain Scarlet) about the pattern. he said that I needed to slim the whole thing down. I have done this and the results are pictured below.

Pah! What wud ye nah!

Sweet tying Tom mate! Just an odd turn infront of the breathers to help them kick back would be my only addition to it.

Try Black with Natural PT

Lovely fly Tom, the revamped version looks deadly. Any chance of a material list? Fancy tying a few of these up for the new season. Cheers, Nick

For Muskins go PHAT!
This will sort out the stockies, for the better fish, the skinnier the better.

It's basically a Bow-Tie Buzzer, that's been tickled.

Nice colours.
