Title: Sedgehog May

My detached body sedgehog daddy pattern work well for Mayfly up in Caithness, thought I would try tweaking the pattern for a more specific representation.

Robert - that is superb!
That is the sort of innovation I will be looking for at the BFFI show this week end.
It could have won you a £100 in my  Waft Ltd contest! Your other stuff is also very impressive.

Thanks Terry, very kind of you to say so. I am planning to be at the BFFI this year so will swing past at some point.

It was a pleasure to meet you yesterday Robert.  And thank you for entering your fly - looks the same as your photo?
It was entry #1 and for me and my assistant on the stand is should remain #1 today when Barry Ord Clarke makes his judgment.
