Evening all. I like them. They always seem to land ok and the small browns in my local river are always up for a barny with them. They are quite versatile in the tying sense, easy play around with the dubbing and hackle choices. Started using Grip hooks 11801BLs, the shank is a bit longer than most but still a lightweight hook-see FTB site for a look at them.
I thoroughly recommend the book above Tying Flies the Paraloop Way. Coch-y-Bonddu books have it on offer at the mo 9.95. Also by the same author is Imatative Fly Tying, same price and interesting.
Recently tied some black gnats in the same style which fish very well.
Chris.
