Nothing too unusual about the tie, it's an idea nicked from Scratch, with mink bunches tied sedgehog style along the shank. I thought the fritz looked cool in the picture though.

Stupid stockies? That'll have big fat (stupid) wild browns doing cartwheels aswell, and no mistake. Not that I'll be fishing it for browns

Nice shot Steve. Now that's how to overcome the predominantly white fly exposure issues

Cracker Steve
I would give it a try with the brownies as I fished a minkie for the 1st time this year and hooked up 1st cast which has made me look at them in a new light and will be tying quite a few more this winter.

Cheers lads, I'm glad you're embrassing the dark side!

Rob - there was a bit of exposure compensation & Lightroom trickery involved!

Quick, where's me welding goggles. Nice one Steve, re the exposure - have you tried a circular polarizing filter ?

In a word no, I have a circular polarizer but it won't fit my macro lens. That's something else to add to the ever expanding list of 'wants'.
