Default Some things from the vice

I've had a few practices at a bumble, and I pretty pleased with this, It's fairly heavily dressed ready for a bit of a blow, a bit more Jay and I think it would be pretty close to the complete article?

A skinny Mallard & Claret (courtesy of Midlanders pattern), I really like the series that midlander did, I can imagine them getting a lot of time on the line next season.

A skinny red holo dabbler, I don't know where the palmered hackle has gone under the shank, and it looks as though the head was tied with tow rope. A work in progress this one!

Any fishing I get at the moment is either winter league matches on carp puddles or a snatched few hours at a local put and take hence this (again the head is rubbish, must try harder);
