Nice little moth pattern Mark, I tie something very similar, and it works well.
How's the river looking at your end, is it up a lot, more rain forecast for the next few days.

Thanks Steven, havn't been out yet, there's a lorry jackknifed on the bridge at warwick bridge and traffics way back to the motorway, but really heavy thunderstorm rain all morning so will be coloured at least, watching the open golf any way so not too bothered.
