Nice pattern. This pattern sure brings back memories of fly fishing Atlantic salmon in the east of Canada for me. We used to use the double hooks for additional weight in higher water conditions. These sparse little gems would often bring some nice salmon to the net. Diggin the new vice.

A very good fly for Seatrout in my local river.

I've never used it while seatrout fishing but it's easy to see why it works. All the best
