Default My bumble, Scratch's clicking

A wee bumble of mine from a few years ago. I sent this over to Scratch last year and he sent me a proper photo of it. Nice clicking Rob.

I love that flee Greg. I'll use it one of these days too! I know you won't mind me saying it's one of those 'special occasion' flies. It just needs to scream at you from inside the box... like your big mellanistic bumble did earlier this season, and helped me win a match Fetched 'em up like a magnet it did, l say, like a magnet Ashley.

Photographing yer swag is always a pleasure mate.... getting to keep 'em is even better!

One for when there's a bit of a wave on I would imagine!

It amazes me how do you guys get your flies so busy, yet so neat. I would have to use a 4/0 aberdeen to get that much material onto a hook.

Pictures are stunning too.

Is the jay wound on like a hackle or tied in bunches around the head?

Work of Art!

I'd love to be able to handle dear hear like some of you chaps (like Gerry and Scratch as well). You always get such a neat finish!

Thanks for sharing.
