I cant see a picture


Scrath that it is there now!!!!
Nice tying by the way.
I was fishing the Clyde one day with my mate and there was a nice fish rising in a pretty dfficult lie. We thought it was a trout, but turned out to be a topper of a grayling. It refused about 6 changes of pattern before taking one very like the fly you have posted.

Cracking wee fly, dude. All you have to do now is find a river system that isn't devoid of Baetis niger, and you're laughing!

You've got the colours spot on too; many commercial tyings use fluorescent or dayglo red silk and it doesn't darken down enough when wet - yours will.

Thank f.... it's April 1st tomorrow, otherwise seeing that would have tipped me over the edge.
