Don't forget the orange floss or wool tail, Chris And I always thought the body was pearl? Happen that's a variant though eh?

I don't think we had discovered pearl then, I still have a couple of rusty originals somewhere. I'll check ands report back

Cheers

And don't you dare go comparing this creation with a blob! It's a lovely traditional wet, Englander. I fail to see any similarities anywhere... It obviously takes time, effort and know-how to tie, gives pleasure to tie, and is a pleasure to fish.

You are so right as my tying improves and i hopefully master new techniques tying such patterns is far more enjoyable and satisfying

Englander ,
just a great one for the daph feeders , I cant bring myself to fish with fritz and that kind of thing ,unless as a subtle hint of glitter ,but that one will get copied and fished ,possibly a tad sparser for soft southern bows !
