You are one of the few that always include the material list. Thank you for posting.

[@FlickingFeathers]

Yes, I get a bit annoyed when people don't do it actually.
All the best
Martyn

Wow - beautiful pattern with my favorite hackle (peacock). Hope to try these on steelhead this year.

Nice! Really like the peacock hackle. Never used it before. Bet it would make a nice accent on some warmwater patterns too.

[@AllanMHutton]
