One of the easiest and best looking patterns I’ve seen!
Great job.

[@FlickingFeathers]

Thanks!

Excellent tie, I don't own a hook that big. Of course I am a fresh water fisherman. If the fish can get off, he wins that time. I don't worry about it much. I just like to catch about four meals of trout a year. I really like it but I wouldn't take more because there are many fishermen and if they all took their limit wouldn't be many fish left. Dipped a hook a couple of days this week even though it was cold. My wife was in the hospital so I used the time wisely. Sean

Glad you managed to get out for a few casts.

Me too, but I missed her. I could have had her go for longer, but I don't want to miss much time with her. All the best and thanks for the well wishes. Sean

[@robinwatts4502]

what weight of rod are you using for flies that size?

[@FlickingFeathers]

You can cast them on an 8, they're not that heavy or wind resistant really. But if you are fishing for GT you better put them on a 12 wt and forget about igfa leaders

Do you Cut the ep fibre to the nente you want.

[@FlickingFeathers]

Yeah, I cut it first then taper it by pulling the ends to make them uneven,
