The profile isn't too bad though, although you don't really see it in the photos :D

Hi Stuart,

Thinks it's an LDO but I frequently get caught out by which olive is which.  I just try match the size and colour, unless like yesterday when there was nothing rising :(

Looks like a female to me Norm , shes voted with her feet and jumped on top so either shes desperate or you've matched the hatch cloe enough! :D

Thanks Norm, so in real terms - a 16, 14 or thereabouts  :lol: Why do they feel they need to go crazy with the size scale!! Cracking looking fly though, think i'll definitely be giving a few of those a shot after my exams!
