Default A few Lough Erne experiments

As its only 4 months until May . Thought Id tie a few big, experimental thingies to be fished in a wave on Lough Erne in Northern Ireland. They probably wont catch a cold but it wont be for the want of trying.

Hopefully conditions this year will allow them to get fished as the days I spent afloat on Erne last season seemed to be either a flat calm or a howling gale

Mayfly junkie as you kindly sent me a few "free samples" (that helped me tie some of these), my fly box is open to you sir for 2010.

I wouldn't like to see you get all stressed Greg.
