We got this brute in a kick sample on the tees a couple of weeks back

So I tied up half a dozen of these - just need the patience to give them enough time on the end of the line now to see how/if they fair.

Exceptional tying, the legs are some of the best I've seen on stonefly nymphs

The body is nymph skin, the legs and appendages are spanflex, and the wingcases, head etc are a single strip of flexibody Ollie Edwards style. They are surprisingly 'quick' to tie - say 15mins - the single strip of FB for the full 'front end' saves a lot of time.
