Do like this fly, have now returned to gaze at it for the second time. Like to know how it goes down with the fish sometime.

Thats a big boy that one Mark , I dont know what it is but it seems a little rigid for a wet fly.
Now that I have said that it just seems so wrong in so many ways

[wingman]

Its probably the oversized furnace hackles I'm useing dabhoy as I don't have any smaller ones left and they are quite a rigid hackle also plus it was intended to be a muddler but I changed my mind half way thru so the proportions maybe not as per wetfly pattern. But saying that there is potential for a better fly when I get better hackles and the proportions more in balance.
