second cast and the hill loch nymph came up trumps, cheers Sandy :)
Well done :applause
What size were you using? If the #12 doesn't work changing to a #14 or vice versa.
By the way it is HillLoch :)

Hmmm, 3x short shank, that would probably equate to a #14 standard shank which I use.

Do you think it would work down here? Never had a fish off a big water with a nymph yet.
Looks the sort of killer that would work anywhere in all sorts of conditions. It's got the x factor for sure!
It is never off my cast, river or loch :) Takes fish from April to September, bright sun or howling gale. It has even taken fish on the top dropper when fish are high in the water and I swap it for the surface fly which replaces it on the tail.
Is there a SBS for it? :)
hook #12 or #14 wet fly
body rear ginger seal fur
thorax black seal fur
rib oval silver over both
hackle any red/brown firnace small and sparse
thread black or brown
ive got to say a red tag is one my best taking flies, does well ginked up as well
