This is a fly I came up with a few seasons back, combining a bit of the pbp with a bit of the irish shrimp. I can quite simply say it is THE single most deadly fly I have ever used on a west coast river from April to November, It looks rough and shabby, but man does it catch fish  If I could only fish with 1 fly for the rest of my life it would be this one............maybe  ;D  Oh it works great on the Nith too  |

Dave, Martin just doesn't have the deft touch of the Ayrshire anglers it's one robust patern, it survived an hour of spirited casting in a light Ayrshire Breeze- a fresh F5 south westerly- and looks as good as new. |

Looks like a nice flee Dave , might have to create a bit of room in the box if you provide the recipe. I suspect it might also work in some of Ayrshire's better rivers BnC |
