Black Mamba Streamer Fly Pattern

This is a little variation of Gareth Wilson's Black Mamba fly pattern. This is a massively effective stillwater pattern and this version should get the job done if the fish are spooked by some larger streamers.

Lead: 0.02 round wire
Thread: Chartreuse UTC 140

Whats the purpose of the silver wire. Love this pattern, seems like a smallie killer if tied in a bigger pattern.

This "fly" is an absolute killer here in Scotland. Both river and Stillwater.

20 or 30 crystal flash = 100 or 150 fibers :)
