Very nicely done!

I've just noticed this step-by-step and would just like to add that i tie my PTN's almost exactly the same as this. My biggest wild brownies from the Eden this year all came on size 14 copper-headed versions of PTN's just like this.

cheers pensioner i really like this pattern and use it for most of my nymphing the other one which i also use is the the simple nymph which has caught me a shed load of fish this season and my pb 4lb wbt
