Rob,
I used to make the IPN for Richard Walker in King street many years ago so it would be unfair of me to answer the rest of the question but I would ask you this. How can you tell an original IPN from an imitation?

Good question...perhaps we should add that to the original question :)

Idiot proof nymph.

Red thread underneath the fritz body which was wrapped sparsely to allow the thread to show through.

Cheers

Hmmm I'd always tied them with red but that may have had something to do with never bloody listening to you :-P

Ok I'll go with orange...

Cheers,

Rob,

Just realised I missed a few points out.

Was it invented on the premise that any idiot could tie one on the end of his line and catch stocked rainbows?

And also if memory serves me correctly the fly was a collaboration between Magnus, Richard Walker and my old man?

Cheers,

Steven.

Yip..I believe it was "invented" for the fly tying courses ran at that school on the Lang Stracht.

Over to you :)

Oops didn't mean to do that and i've nothing ready......

Ok easy one

Not so very long ago there was a competition running to name the best fishing hotels in the country.  Who was the main sponsor and what was the name of the fly they produced to run alongside this?

No google cheats.  :wink

no idea about the fly or sponsor but the Colquhonnie in Strathdon must be the hotel.  :z4 :z4 :z4

Believe it may once have been mentioned as a finalist but not sure it ever won it, we're talking a few years ago Marc btw.

Anyway not looking for named hotels, but the main competition sponsor and the name of the fly?
