DHE How Low In The Water Should It Sit

Nice one Fred     right enough.

Never liked the polystyrene balls for suspenders. They don't seem to be very durable once a fish or two have had a nibble. I have had a lot of success in the past with suspended buzzer type flies tied using a strip of foam.

One pattern in particular has a body of rusty orange squirrel, ex-fine oval gold rib, thorax same as body, but picked out to make it spiky, and a brown foam head.

This pattern can be devastating when there are beetles on the water.
