Cheers mate , Ya man Peter given me a few pointers . The colours I have just thought up my self by looking at the limited kit I have got myself to start tying with and let the brain waves flow . Also going on what sort of thing did well for me last season and using that as my guide .

Nothing wrong with them you must be a fast learner, I am more a blobs, booby and cruncher guy but like the look of that olive colour on number 3, is it insect green?, and what is the sort of barred feather at the front. Also what is the rib on no 1.
