Lee,

I've tried tied with the nymph to the bend and also with the dry tied on a short dropper. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. Try it either way, it's a killer method on rivers and streams.

Scott,

thanks for posting the pics. Looks like a very successful swap. I look forward to seeing them in the flesh.

Some lvoely flies there gents.

You seem to have got my klink and nymphs jumbled up though mate lol. My modest efforts are the klink in the top pic and the pink quill with that awesome looking paraloop.

Looking forward to trying that buggy dry out when I get my hands on it!

Dan

Nice flies. Congratulations to all.

Some of the "dinks" look rather heavy for the "klinks" though - do you find the klinks can suspend a beaded nymph?

Don't have a problem with mine. My dink is in the first pic (quill) and my klink is the para in the 7th pic. The dinks bead is a copper 2mm, no matter what klink I use it floats ok. Well actually I tried a few cdc klinks and they plummet to the bottom faster than a ledger but the normal jobbies work fine.

Chris.
