Re: Nessie Flymph
Johnno ~ Well done! Looking at a photo of a "Nessie" I can easily see how your pattern would work quite well.

Johnno,
Very nice fly. I'm guessing that's a Mustad 94842? A 94840 isn't an up-eye.

Johnno, that could pass for a number of our local mayflies as well. Very nice, sparse flymph pattern.

John,
Wow"! Great looking pattern for sure! It is "insectness" and that is a good thing! You do really good work at the vice and I always like seeing what you have to offer! This one is no exception! It is great!

Fish when you can, not when you should! Anything short of this is just a disaster.
