Davie I’ve been tying for 45 years and am still amazed at how much material you can pile on a hook and still have it come out slim and trim. Beautiful fly and I will certainly be tying up a few, I’m sure they will fool the big Rainbows in my favourite lake.

[@Bowcase]

I agree fully and I also am amazed at what he can do on a bare hook. 😁🎣

[@juliancharbonneauadventures]

I’ll be tying some of these for great lakes rainbows and Atlantic salmon 👌

Davie I have a question which has nothing to do with this fly pattern
In fishing a jig hook do you tie in the hook point toward the tippet or will it swing around to proper position hook floating up.
Thank
Michael

Cracking looking Nymph Davie. Nice to have in the box ahead of the hatches. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks from down under in NZ. We don't have those Danica Mayflies here but I can't resist tying a few up as it is such a great-looking fly. Regards.
