Whatever you tie Ian I don't think you should fish them until I have tested them for you.

Very nice flies, i purchased some 30mm fritz recently and have tied some shaggy cats but was a little worried they'd be a bit big,but iv'e noticed that quite a lot of peoples lures are a good size. cheers ian

All you need are some of my Viva nymphs and a floating line it proved my "best" pattern over last winter (i fish once per week Oct-march) do a forum search ive posted photos and materials before.............. most days it beats the lure pullers
