A wee cracker Peter.

But just to clarify the name "Jointer Bumble" came from George Barron. It was included in a recent article by him. He did of course mention in the article that it was based on the "Melanistic Bumble" that i tied which included a number of Jungle Cock splits down each side of the fly, tied in stages.

The original "Oakhams Bumble" which the original idea came from you & your melanistic.

And a similar bumble from the same think tank.

PS. Sorry for hijacking your thread mate
