Very nice Gary, would love to see the tube version for spring. Where's the floro green floss from, who makes that one you use there?

Klops sent me some I will put some in the post.

Tied up a quick tube with the green as a second tag. Front hackle not frothy enough but I have run out of those feathers for this size.



It is tied on Fishing Sanny's tubing.
1.5" overall
1" plastic outer tube
0.5" Brass tube at the front

Nice

Nice looking fly Garry I'm sure it will take plenty more fish.

The second one should last longer too, due to having the tinsel tagg followed by the floss butt. rather than just the floss at the rear. I learned this the hard way with plenty of ruined flees

All the best.

Dave.
