"Tank(s)master" perhaps ? nice & subtle, just the thing as the evening light fades away & the fish start dimpling the surface.

Very nice fly, love these little creatures. Simple but oh so effective. Nice work, Brownsville.

No. 2 opposite the bird hut, just as the sun goes down and fill yer boots! or even better Butcombe shore just as the last light fades. I don't miss that much about England at the moment, but Blagdon on a summers evening is going to be on that list.

Great tie, I really like the wisps of CDC, is it on a grub hook or is it the angles playing tricks with my eyes?

Hook is a B160 size 16, which looks like a 20 with my old eyes.


No.3 tank, westerly, behind the trees, and a sedge on the point.

You never know.

That will work Mike, without a doubt, very delicate, and nicely tied.

Melanie Gray behind the bike sheds with a strong north easterly and a good big top dropper


Lovely fly by the way, very simplistic but deadly.

Cast out and let its just sit.....(dont put your rod on your knees and roll one though)
