Black n Pearly Snatcher

As requested a wee pic of my simple wee Black n Pearly Snatcher on the Partridge Patriot Czech Nymph heavy hook (size 20, fly looks good 20 - 24).
Great for slow just sub-surface fishing, strong enough for fishing deep or fast if required.  Excellent buzzer pattern, equally excellent shrimp pattern in olive (as voted for by Harray Loch troot  :z16 and full dressing in FF&FT later)

So wee pic of my Snatcher (ooer Vicar  :oops) hope you guys like it.




Tying tip, strip the fibres off one side of the hackle to ensure you keep it sparse, four turns max (inc. head).

Not seen the Patriot Czech Nymph hook, but have used the standard one by Partridge. Lost a lot of fish on it, and i think it is because it is so springy.

Nice fly by the way, I think I will have a few of those in my box soon :)
