A nice change for the spring Dave I thought this fly had a silver rear body but I may be wrong.

Cheers for pointing out my shortcomings guys ;D

I was copying the flee from a dull picture and never had a dressing to follow.
The one I had definately had the tail tied in, in this position.. possibly just a variation on the origonal.
The fluo yellow cones are nice, I got them thismorning from Mchardy's. New style eumer cones

Here is today's new and improved version of the Bertie dastard.

This version has a holographic silver rear body, a Fluorescent yellow arctic runner tail, flou yellow JC and some top secret flash

The small one is on a 1 inch Aluminium slipstream with a medium eumer cone.

The big one is on a 2 inch copper slipstream with a Large eumer cone







hope you like them

Dave.
