Re: The Grey Watchet
I agree with Ray. Just gorgeous. How do you like those AJ hooks? Tried them once a few years back, lost two nice fish due to hooks straightening out. Never went back.

I second REE on the Alec Jackson hook - look good but very thin, bendable wire.Ron Eagle Elk wrote: ↑Sat Jan 08, 2022 10:22 am How do you like those AJ hooks? Tried them once a few years back, lost two nice fish due to hooks straightening out. Never went back.

Beautiful fly!

Interesting how a slight change in a dressing results in a different name.
For quite a few years, I've tied various "thread and hackle dressings" with the addition of a thorax or wire rib - sometimes both - and just continued to call them as a P&O, P&Y, etc.
