Well, sort of. A bit of a stretch but there we go.

Green Peter variant.

Hook: Yorkshire sedge, #10-12
Thread: UNI 8/0, brown
Body: Mix of golden olive, insect green, pale olive seal and caddis green ice dub.
Rib: Lagartun oval gold, sml.
Body Hackle: Whiting furnace hen.
Wing: Duck dyed medium ginger.
Hackle: Brown hen (long).

Invicta variant.

Hook: Hayabusa 761, #10-12
Thread:UNI 8/0, brown
Tail: GP body feather, yellow.

Looks like a Bob Carnhill influenced pattern to me , I like that one ,ok like them both ,masterful work as always!

[arkle]

Andy, it could well be. I know Alex is one of the few tyers who does Bob Carnill's pattern, it may be based on his Shredge fly.

Nice flies as usual Eck.....Green Peters are invisible to trout when I fish one though mate.My local sedges are a different colour.......large Reds,Cinnamons and chocolate brown where I fish.

The Old Gold Invicta would do a job though for sure....
