This pattern is a pattern that Jock Kettles showed me around ten years ago. It's a Nymph/Lure that found its origins in Scotland. Works particularly well in the warmer months, I have always found it a frustrating fly to fish with as it just does not seem to work as well as similar patterns for me anyway.
Its always worth having a couple in the box though ;-)
I once caught that many fish on this pattern that I was embarrassed. It was what they wanted on the day and I'd never be without it again.
As you say Richard on its day it can be amazing 👍
These are very effective flys in size 10 competition size. They work well on sunk and floating lines. Have used the original pattern
for 20 years and they can be effective with buzzer and daphnia feeders alike. Nice tie Lindsay
Thanks Rodger, much appreciated.
Thanks Lindsay, educational. Big Davie
No bother pal.
Yet another nice little pattern there dude. Thank you for another one.
No problem 👍
Nice pattern Lindsay!.
Stay safe and tight lines!.
ATB Chris.

Thanks Denis, hope you are well.

Never come across that one before. I’ll tie up a few now we are allowed out to play here in Scotland.
Should do a turn pal.
Looks interesting. I am fixin to tie up a few to give em a try here in Texas y’all.
Well, I will be keen to know how they swim in Texas!
Nice one. Is this the original pattern?
Near as dammit
Lindsey that’s the glo brite multie yarn you are using and not the floss just paying attention
Thanks for the correction Tony.
Any idea if this is a general pattern or for a specific nymp/hatch?
No, it's just a general pattern buddy.
