Re: Stewarts Wood cock Spider.
Really like seeing your work posted, Tom. Excellent dressing. Love the upright wings of late.

Marvelous dressing Tom. It would be fun to take this one for a swim.

Re: Stewarts Wood cock Spider.
I like that a lot. Might well tie a couple and take them down the Clyde where they will feel very much at home.
Re: Stewarts Wood cock Spider.
You are on a role Tom. Nice little winged wets lately.

I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

Re: Stewarts Wood cock Spider.
Helllo folks, thanks for your welcomes.
I will not be known on here. I live in Scotland and use "Bobfly " since I usually fish two flies on the cast on hill lochs and most of the wild browns come to the bobfly!
I usually use soft hackled flies and/or dries.
