Default Golden anniversary winged wet

A wee bit of glitter and gold for a change here for those backend dull days that might just catch the eye of a late season trout before the rods are set to rest. Not sure if the name is appropriate, although I'm sure Midlander will put me right on this one...erm bit of an ard one this Alex. Tied on a kamasan B175 size 12.

Excellent again Mark. Material combination look as though they could do some serious trout stock damage.
Almost succulant.

Thanks wobbly, yes damage being the intention, I'm not really a fan of the glittery stuff but thought it would make a change so we'll see..

Beautiful! Love the colour harmony on this. It's a sure taker for whatever the trout think it is at the right time. Shrimp, corixa, sedge pupa etc.

Nice one

That's also a sweet impersonation Steve Mc Queen is doing of Charles Bronson

Best regards

Thanks again everyone for the positive feedback, I'll let you know how it does if i can get to the river in between thunderstorms, hurricanes and I believe snow on the way....ah perfect trout fishing weather. Oh thought I'd mention hooks not blunt by the way, just stuck into the back of my veniards fly dressing catalogue.---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 PM ----------
