Thanks chaps

They are primarily tied for river use but I can't see why they wouldn't work in stillwaters.

These are approx three inches long and the zonker is 1/8" wide, I'm going to try some with the magnum strips that are 1/4" and tie them larger probably for pike or bigger trout!

Afraid so Steve, I do love both of those books. When I've finally filled my nymph, dries and streamer boxes I will post pics of the contents.

I've just started with them. I started with the caddis and then had some tinkerings with the DB CAMs. Those books will keep me occupied until I get Paul Whillock's.
