Been playing with a few dries lately. Sorry for the continuing cr@p photos,but a lens the size of a pea and a size 16 don't mix.





Please feel free to weigh in.

Nice work Mike, especially on a 16. Are you splitting the thread to dub the CDC?

[brownsville]

Yes mate, the thread is Benecchi 12 that Mr Wiltshire kindly gave to try, splits a treat, no wax. I think it needs wings though,and the tails too long, next time maybe.

Split thread is for split-arses.

Delightful tie that one Mikey. Well done.

Not atall Brownsville ,all it needs is a balmy june evening and a fussy fat trout.
Grand fly PJ

That'll work a treat Mike & has scope for development into other versions of it.

Fly will fish fine,as for the tails look at the naturals mate the tails on them can be at least 4 or 5 times the length of the body,fish that in flat water & it'll do well,Craig.
