Nicely tied; a good spring fly for our silvery prey. Well done-are you interested in buying a few? Seriously: nice tying.

Am I interested in buying a few? The answer depends on whether I am paying for them in cash money or dog biscuits

Thanks for the compliment. The fly is a really good pattern in falling water after a spate in daylight. It also works well in the hours of darkness fished on the point with an American Express above it.

Last time i tried to use American express in the dark i almost got mugged-but i got away with it. I've only ever used one fly for sewin. I can't get to my fly tying stuff at the mo so i am struggling to post a pic of my braided mono setup but, when i can, i will.

thanks
