Very nice Steve what kind of hook are you using.

[Scratch]

Wot's yer m.o. with that one, Liverlips.. 'semi dry' ?

[peepingcaddis]

Nowt Fancy, Standard Grub, But for big boys in shallow water you need something small and bloody strong, I like the Umpqua U103 Size 16 Nymph 2X, strong and small, actually it's far better for those Orange CDC's from last year...

BOB, Phone me...

It's best fished on it's tod, soft action rod and co polymer tippet, or seagaur 5.5lb, cast and move in and around weedbeds, or better still cast out and leave it in a flat calm when they're up, Gink the Antron, it hangs Reet gid like!
I used this when Bob and I went after the big boys up in Savages during the Lexus ind in 2010.

Hi Steve, could you let me know the materials used on the fly, I think I recognise most of them but I've not been tying long enough to be sure.

Thanks Craig

Is it proven on a number of waters Steve?

Like the look of it and the idea of drowned emergers, have several I have tried. Just can't get them to out fish the old bob's bits.

Also interested in the materials list. (That was posted as I typed.......)

Cheers,
Mark
