Nice one, Norm, looks a sure bet.
Did you put a bend, klink-style, in that 200R?
Seems very curvy.

Yes Dave, gave it a wee "twang" in the vice, not much though.

As always, great flies on this thread. The LDO's really nice. I've got some natural snow shoe so will tie up something similar and give it a go my river - well not my river, but you know what I mean. I like the March Brown too, there's something about the auld style flies - makes me want to get tying and encourages me to persevere with placing those infuriatingly difficult wing slips. Thanks for posting guys... just brill. I get so much from this thread it makes me feel guilty, so I'll try extra hard to get my arse in gear and add something of my own soon... promise.  :?

A fly that served me very well last season on the rivers in size 14 and 16
