Barbless grub hook size 14
Pearsall's primrose silk
Starling wing and hackle
Gold Mylar tag.
Had a bit of a trout bonanza with this pattern this morning!
18 trout, all around the half pound mark in 50 yards of broken water in my local village.
Fantastic sport on a #3, 7' split cane rod. By best session of the season by far!!

Same pattern as the first one, but this one is on a partridge #16 nymph hook.
