Aye their crackin ayrshire looking patterns.

has the second one down got a gold holographic rear body,
or is it just the light reflecting on the silver

Gold holo would be my first choice for my local waters, or maybe a well picked out gold lite brite body.

I thought the original flies you tied looked good, and the fish agreed. I reckon the conehead Clan Chief will be a killer (oops.......I mean catcher).

All tied with silver holo (I think)!

Must give it a go myself this year.
