Tom - Have you ever fished this pattern? I have not, but look forward to trying this pattern. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks guys and Ray I have not fished this pattern yet. I tied it after a recent posting by Rob Smith on the internet showing an antique pattern of the fly.

I love this fly in a 14 or 16 when BWO's are about. It has worked well for me. Take a peek at my avatar.

Tom
Yet another post with an Allcocks hook - extra nice! Patterns such as this belong on vintage iron, no two ways about it.

Soft and wet - the only way....
