Doing some flies for a special place over here, and going on the idea of Danny(sweeny todd)....i also like a meaty fly....kitchen sink in this one,..with natural red game, grey hen,french partridge and speckled hen hackles all crammed in.

You must be expecting waves of surfer proportions Theres enough material on them to tie 10 river olives and a bit left over.

Sure to do damage on the bob Geordie. It could also feed Bear Grylls for a week.
