Tarves Terror

[Robert MacDonald-Lewis]

Attempting to recreate a fly local pattern from a photograph on the Haddo House Angling Club website. No pattern to go by, if anyone knows anything about this pattern I'd appreciate any info.

Not sure but I think this fly was the creation of Mike Stewart who is a well known Ythan regular on the HHAC fishings.
A few years ago it was a very successful pattern which Mike kept a close secret !!
If it his fly I'm sure he'd give the full dressing details ...................

Thanks Fred, I'll see if I can get in touch with Mike.

Mike has a photo of the fly on the Haddo House Angling club website.

I have sent him a message on Facebook, but I don't know how much he goes on there.
