Such a simple pattern, Barry...but I'm betting quite effective! Thanks for sharing.

Lovely simple pattern - love the tip to blacken the thread for the rib. Going to tie now and try tonight. Thanks!

Hi Barry another question - only seem to be able to get to size 18s in UK for these Mustad hooks and you mentioned you made them on smaller hook sizes, so what do you use for that please?

What part of the season would you say this fly works best, or is it one of those year round flies? Thanks. Love your videos.
