A much underated colour combination.

using a fibre called Pike Skinz for the main bulk of the fly. Also makes amazing feelers for shrimp patterns as the colours are not dyed but made up from various colours to get the right blend.

Thanks Hamish...might get a swim tomorrow, although I am waiting on an Access 10 weight to arrive, so may use that.

I am going to be tying a few 4-5" versions for the trout. Gets over the hook size issue as I will use a single barbless tube hook :)

Just trying to work out what to use instead of Big Fly Fibre for the underbody to give it volume but no weight.

Will be very interested to see what you come up with :z16

I can see a real use for a light easy to cast 6" trout streamer :X2
