That’s a lovely looking fly. Cracking pattern. Heather flies are out at the minute!

[@ross1458]

Just amazing. I am always amazed by how you manipulate materials with your finger tips to get them to behave.

[@davidromesburg4729]

Amazing. Love your work

Love this pattern. I used to use a small red head muddler heather pattern.

[@depunktfly]

Very nice pattern. Thank you for showing. 😃

[@drewsimpson5967]

Great looking fly. I'd like to try it on Loch Leven as its got classic snatcher/bibio/hopper ingredients and should do very well on the loch.

Great tie, thank you Davie

[@eirikotten4594]

Really nice pattern. The hook you chose makes all the difference on this fly! Well done.

Hi Dave, I'm finally in Scotland, visiting from Australia. Catching up with a long list mate who moved to Lewis 15 years ago. So excited to try your patterns I've been tying for years. Thanks for everything you do mate. Cheers

I was looking back on some of your older videos. You have another heather snatcher ten years back with a seal fur head and no hackle. What would make you chose one over the other?

[@wansak2977]

That's a beauty, what other colors do you tie it in ?
