Default Bibio Snatcher

Inspired to tie a 'traditional snatcher' by Scratches Invicta version, I thought I'd have a go at a Bibio variant. It's a bit flashier than the traditional with a holo red tag, and red SLF prism dubbing.

Nice tie Steve, that prism business should stirr 'em up a bit! One minor niggle though if I may be so bold... the hen hackle at the front looks wee bit long for my tastes. Reckon it'll still do the biz though

Great tie steve - that would work as a top dropper on Brenig for sure. I'd add a couple of JC eyes or goose biots.

Thanks for the kind words gents.
Scratch, i'm sure that you could be bolder than that. I must admit i thought the hackle was too long even as i was tying it in and should have picked another out.
I did think about JC cheeks, but seem to put it on everything at the moment, maybe biots on the next iteration.
Cheers, Steve
