I'm sure this is an actual named pattern anyone know what it is?

It's very good indeed, just looks very very fishy

Cheers Iain, another pattern i'd forgotten about.  Well tied and kick starts the brain into tying mode when you see flies like this.
It's almost a Jungle Bunny or palmered Red Arrow, but crackin lookin fly.  Will need to tuck a few away and give them a run out, Lochindorb fish will love it so might even get a wee swim before the curtain fall.
Leven troots will like it in buzzer sizes and maybe on a curved hook (B110 AKA Snatcher like?)

Wonder what it would do if i tied it with a long crest tail and in Hamish sized proportions in a big wave?
Watch this space......

Hi Alan,

I have tied a few on B110's snatcher stylee using a wee yellow floss tag instead of topping - looks good but never tried them yet.
