Love that wee mallard wing one Robbie nice and sleek, would be ideal pin fry representation. Dave does that sit on the bottom or is it buoyant enough to be fished with a sinking line like a booby? Bet it would be deadly like that. Just stocking my box after uist, it took a battering but more from anglers than fish! Claret dabblers [attachimg=1]

sits on the bottom and makes wee puffs of silt if you twitch it. you need to see the "flats" in Extremadura to get the idea.
but you've got me thinking;plastic bead chain eyes and a booby foam tail would do the trick. i'm off to the lab... :8)

It has often been said with flies that there is nowt new under the sun .... and I was reminded of that when looking at the very first fly in the picture in the first entry on page one in this topic dated October in 2008 from Clan Chief ... a nice soft olive yellow partridge fly  :D :D
Always worth a swim !!
