What are the materials for the 'conservation special' flyIt has a hook Paul it's the materials that are a conservationists nightmare dream. It was described in T&S a while back. In fact I may have to change the question a bit cos I can't find the copy of T&S which has the tying details.So who devised the fly?

Ok an easier one what gave the coloration to the wool origionally used in the Tups indespensable Logged Print Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 [10] 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 ... 55 Fishing The Fly Scotland Index Main Discussion Area General Knowledge - Fly Fishing
